??? Wood Plinths: Layers: 7/2/1 ? Wood Type: Solid or Veneer or Vinyl Wrap wood look ?


I hope we can assemble a thread of answers about the various Wood Plinths we have or definitely know about.

I'm trying to choose a TT for my office: JVC Victor/Denon/Pioneer/Sony/Technics/Marantz .. etc. 

If I go for a Wood Base, it's confusing, both the layered construction of the base, and the actual exterior wood material. Layers: I'm asking about the deck thickness/construction for the spinner (most are thinner at arm location).

...........................

JVC Victor Wood Plinths with CL-P_ (CL-P1, 2, 3, 10)

I believe are all Premium 70mm thick 7 layer composite construction with real wood veneer. Mostly these are separate plinths, you add a spinner and a tonearm (or 2: CL-P2 or even 3: CL-P3). What's the difference between CL-P1 and CL-P10???

JVC Turntables (factory assembled and sold as a unit): Some have removable arm boards, some don't, some have multi-layer, others 2 layers, or only 1 layer?

Denon Plinths?

Denon Turntables?

the other brands are primarily factory assembled turntables, who knows about the deck thickness/material?

Please post what you know about your specific models, current or past, or you just know, I think we all would benefit from a lot of answers, I certainly will.

GLUE:  IF Treated Well: some brands/models veneer/wrap glue holds up, others not so well, some veneer/wraps are thick, some thin, hold up, or don't. Knowledge, comments, known problematic models/

A free for all will result I hope

regards, Elliott

Bill,

Before success with Vlad,

I had one arrive smashed (improperly packaged), then UPS smashed it more inspecting the damage.

I wrote to someone on eBay who makes Dust Covers. He gave me a price, and, if I took a nice photo of it on my TT, that he could use for future sales, he would give me a nice percentage off, so, one way or another you will get one.

However, the factory cover is very heavy, 3/16" thick because of it's large size, beautiful, precise hand cutouts, aligns with the rubber locators on the deck (see photo of your deck, 4 of them stick up in the corners).

So factory is the best idea.
Hi Elliot, I asked him for a price on the dust cover and he came back with $150.00 shipped. I assume that is Canadian dollars. I'll hit him up with a counter offer.
Lets see what happens.

He won't budge from $150.00 and wants to be payed Paypal friends and family so the buyer has no recourse if it's damaged in shipping.
Not to happy with that.

You guys could sort all that by private messages or it must be public?

Regarding links they will all be expired soon and will be useless for our readers in a few month.

Speaking about plinth i think Denon top model plinth is better than Victor top model plinth.    
I'm curious why you think the Denon plinth is better. I've not seen anything about the Denon plinth so I can't really compare. I know the Victor plinth is a 7 layer sandwich of wood and some sort of material in between. 70mm thick and very heavy, covered with a nice veneer.  It's hollowed out for the motor and arm boards, the rest is solid.Not trying to start an argument, trying to learn the differences.Thank you
