Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable

While my pair of Victor TT-101 still sleeping in the storage, i decided to buy another Flying Saucer.

The DENON DP-80, vintageknob always have nice images and info about rare stuff...

On that page you see DP-80 with DA-401 tonearm for hich compliance cartridges (i have this tonesm NOS). It could be an interesting project, it was hard to resist ...

The question is the Plinth for this Denon DP-80.
The original DK-300 plinth is an option, but searching for something better i found this one.

Custom made plinth is always an option and i have superb Audio-Technica AT-616 pneumatic insulators to use under the plinth.

But what do you guys using with your Denon PD-80 ?

P.S. some companies now producing even an iron cast plinth and graphite plinth, i have no access to graphite, but iron cast here is cheap to make a custom plinth.

System rearrangement. This my current setup. Some nice gear in this lovely corner: Gold Note, Pass Labs, ZYX, JLTi, First Watt, Fidelity-Research, Luxman, Victor, Sony, Lustre, Micro Seiki, Zu Audio ... and more. I don't use digital, strictly vinyl !

Currenty under impression of my new Victor MC-L10 Direct Couple on Victor UA-7082 tonearm. What a great cartridge! 

Denon DP-80 on its way and the next in the most will be DK-300 plinth. 

I have one problem: i don't know how to place more than 2 turntables around my central rack with phono stages. May be i will have to make another (lower) table for 3rd turntable. 

*How do you deal with many turntables connected to the same system in your room ? 

I designed and made two metal racks especially for my Luxman PD-444 few years ago. And the rack in the middle (for amps and preamps) is what i designed myself about 19 years ago.

Haven't you repaired your TT-101 yet?

At the very least, get the TT101’s out of the garage. The moisture and changes in temperature and humidity that might occur in the garage would be bad news for the circuit boards in the TT101. Put them in a dry location with a stable room temperature suitable for humans. Not in Siberia.

Not yet, i want to make sure it will be fixed by professional ones and forever. They are both have minor problems, nothing serious i believe. Local dude can’t work on them. Andrew Wilkinson in UK actually can try and full of enthusiasm. His perair shop has long history. Some other people can repair them, so i’m saving on it.

You’re right, but i don’t have a garage, they are here at home in the storage. I will plug them in and check again, it’s been a while since i tried them.
