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.

I use ss300 on my TT101. If the dp80 was in regular use, I’d buy an ss300 for it,too.
I’ve been in Tokyo this whole time, visiting our son. When I get back home I’ll check the condition of the Dp80 platter.
Chakster  - I use the Boston mat on my DP80 it works great.
Another mat that needs investigating is the Acromat from funk firm.
As far as using CU mats on the DP80 i don't think its a good idea they are too heavy for the spring suspended inner platter.

@pbnaudio thanks Peter, i'm gonna try The Mat from Sakura Systems, it's in my wantlist. 

BTW: how do you lubricate DP-80 motor ?

The bottom bearing "holding" plate comes off by removing 3 screws, so its pretty easy. I have added 3 photos on the Systems page for the DD tables.  The last three ones  https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/6431
