SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth

The big difference between professional made Obsidian plinth

and amateurs made plinths are the dust cover which can be

positioned at whatever level and tonearm board which can be

easy fastened with 4 big screws . Those sell for 600 euro  each

while their construction and quality can't be matched by any

of those ''alternative'' plinths. For my Kuzma Stabi Reference I

need to use an simple plastic  sheet in order to protect the platter

from dust. The dust cover on my SL 1000,mk2 I need to be clean

each week. Without dust cover all this dust will be transferred  to

to your LP's.

Thanks chakster, You obviously prefer ''hifi'' literature above Russian

classics (grin). I am not sure if you ever visit German ''audio-markt''

site? There you can find an unbelievable amount of second hand

gear. By the category ''analog parts '' you can see those

Technics armboards for 600 euro. I own three of those so I am  well

stocked. But those British kinds look well made and are pretty

cheap. This is always useful information.

Now regarding those ''dust covers'' . To my mind they are necessary.

But the curious thing is that I  have never seen any of those

''alternative plinths'' with an dust cover included. To difficult to

produce by those who pretend to produce ''perfect''  plinths for

the SP-10 mk 2?

The Dutch have this saying: ''paper is patient'' . This means that

one can write whatever one likes on paper. The same apply for

wood.

I am glad you made your racks from metal. The fact that in your

''region'' metal is cheaper than wood is your advantage (grin).

@best-groove, My Obsidian plinth looks exactly the same as

the one on your reference ''Here''. However instead of marker

B3 my sample has ''SL-1000,mk 2''.

It is not clear what you own because your description is not

clear but from the context one can deduce that the color of

your sample is different than black? Why is the color of interest

to you?
