Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model)
The SP-10R features a brand new, coreless direct drive motor which, in addition to the two-sided rotor drive system that was used in the SL-1200G, boasts stator coils on both sides of the rotor, for a more powerful and accurate sound."
"The heavy platter features a three-layer structure consisting of brass, aluminum die-cast and deadening rubber, just like the platter of the SL-1200G. By optimising the natural frequency of each layer, external vibrations are thoroughly suppressed resulting in a beautifully clear and crisp audio experience."
"The SP-10R also features a new ultra-low-noise switching power supply, which, compared to a power supply unit using a transformer, is better at suppressing unwanted humming sounds and vibrations. The power supply unit is separate from the main turntable, preventing unwelcome noise from being transmitted to the turntable unit, for a sharper and clearer sound."
FIRST VIDEO with SP-10R:
P.S. Should we expect $15 000 or more ? And the new plinth comin soon?
Power supply looks funny, but the design of the drive is great, i think we should wait for the new version of the EPA-100 soon. Good news the GAE was not the last turntable !!!
I use teak wood, but for those who’re not stick to one turntable and one tonearm this pod is an option. Practically it’s good, i’m curious about tonearm pod for my Victor TT-101, but it is an option for those who concerned about new SP-10R plinth. Can’t remember who else used that toneam pod, i think i saw it on the system page on a’gon. Would be nice to check the drawings of this construction. Hope to hear from Raul soon. |
Can’t remember who else used that toneam pod, i think i saw it on the system page on a’gon. Check out halcro's page. As to plinth building, materials of construction do affect your results. Additionally a single material is most often not the best option with CLD constrained layer construction being widely accepted. |
Dear @lewm @pryso : Thank's to ask about this terrible and devastating earthwake that occurs after only 12 days of the other devastating earthwake of 8.2°. Fortunatelly all my family is ok but all the people in my country are really " devastated " for it, especially the ones that lives in México city and the states of: Puebla, Morelos, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Guerrero, Edo. México y Tlaxcala. As always México ( country ) everytime that occurs a natural disaster in any place over our planet send different type of HELP, we are always solidaries and we show this solidarity with specific help actions. One of the latest time was after the Houston hurricane two weeks before the earthwakes here in México. As a fact our President send a message to USA goverment that we can't following sending our help to Houston due that our urgent needs by the earthwakes. Thank's too to all of you that already send me by email your concern about. Yes, I know where the friendship belongs. R. |
Dear Raul, I am very happy to hear that you and your family are OK, and at the same time, I am sad for others in your country who are suffering so terribly. I will do what I can to support them. Dear Inna, For me, the goal of the plinth is to eliminate any coloration that could emanate from a plinth. Thus, I would not want to "hear" differences between and among different woods, unless one wood sounded clearly more neutral compared to any other. In that regard, I have also become persuaded that Combined Layer Damping (CLD) really works. This means using different types of materials to make a tightly bound "sandwich" where each layer dampens the whole structure and also cancels the colorations of any one particular material. I have built 4-5 plinths from slate and/or wood, and this is the source of my thinking, based on that experience. (Like Totem said, I guess.) |
