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.

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.

Haven’t you repaired your TT-101 yet?

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.

Ho un nome che ti è stato consigliato qualche tempo fa per il mio TT101 se in futuro avessi avuto bisogno.

Armin Kahr di Berlino cerca di informarti;  I don't know any more.

if you have to leave them in an unprotected place, put some silca gel envelopes near the turntables ....bags with special salts absorb moisture.  ;)
