Great info here. I contacted OMA as @chakster want's to use some of his iron cooking pots for a plinth. They quoted me $10,000 for their new Hypo-eutectic grey iron plinth that weighs 150lbs. Wait for review from Fremer DJ before you buy!
SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth
According to the price lists they are in one category, but anyone could comment on quality/performance? At the moment i use big Teak Wood plinth (just $750) custom made in Taiwan for my SP10mk2. Looking for upgrade in the future. I use my sp10mk2 with Reed "12 tonearm now. Doest the plinth actually makes a big difference in sound? My stand is well damped with glass, metal and sarbothane in between.
1) Oswald Mill Audio graphite slate plinth (single layer) $2750, double layer looks fantastic but cost $3500
2) Steve Dobbins famous custom plinth cost $2650 including three Stillpoints feet and automotive show quality paint in black or white. Design has changed many times, still hard to find any current plinth picture online.
I know there are Albert Porter's and Artisan Fidelity quality plinth available, but i don't like the design (i mean just how it looks) for SP10.

Deal all, please have a look This a new producs from OMA Cast Iron plinth for Technics SP-10R Link published on https://twitter.com/oswaldsmill |
Anyone can comment about sound properties of the Cast Iron plinth and this material in general ? New video appeared here, watch at 3:55 I am thinking about DIY iron cast plinth for my Victor TT-101. The OMA is the only company that use Cast Iron for plinth, and this is their next one after graphite plinth. |
@best-groove I'm skeptical about reading all these things. Why? What you mean? In my opinion Cast Iron looks great, i have no idea is it better than graphite slate or wood, but i know for sure that Cast Iron in Russia is cheap. A friend made this decorative cedar bump for my balcony, it is a replica of the original 1956 missing bump, and it is made of Cast Iron. So i think i can ask him to make a Cast Iron ring for Victor TT-101 or even a small plinth (i hope it is not expensive). |
