List of plinth builders for Technics SP10 MK3

I am sure that Dr Kaneta is one of the great geniuses of all time, in the category of an Einstein. That wasn’t my point. Apologies to his family if I did not pay heed to his seminal contributions to audio.  I would still credit Steve Dobbins with explanting the SP10 Mk3 motor assembly, although the idea to do it was already “in the wind”.  Peter Reinders is a great guy who was uncommonly generous some years ago in openly sharing his design for both the PTP Top Plate and the use of a slate plinth and how to cut it for a Lenco.  Slate was later replaced by Corian in the commercial version of his plinth.  Thanks to Peter, I was able to commission the construction of a slate plinth for my Lenco, using the first commercial version of his top plate.

Whilst scouring the Japan Auctions, I have found a Vendor who has offered a Kaneta Variant.

This is produced using the SP10 MkII as a Donor Model.

The design is very tidy and is with the Stator Housed in a resinous stone Plinth Chassis, limited to one Tonearm, which looks to be a 9" type. The Power Supply again is looking very tidy and is a produced as Two Modules, on e for the Speed Control and the other the Power On/Off.

This is a TT, I do not really need, as I am on the verge of having a Panzerholz Plinth/Chassis Model produced, with a bespoke produced Power Supply/Speed Control.

The design for the Panzerholz being produced for me, is not exactly the end design I want to have in use either. I have a design that I want to put to use, once I have experienced a few Kaneta Variants and offered others the chance to experience the Kaneta Variants in comparison to the Standard SP10 MkII mounted on a P'holz Plinth.

This will be a little more involved with the SP10 MkII, as the Plinth Materials are seen as critically important for the end designs, but will still be quite similar to how I demo'd a GL 75 Idler Drive.

The GL75 has been demo'd as a Standard Model, as a Modified Model in a purpose produced Plinth and as a PTP Solid 9 and Speed Control. There are new discoveries of betterment made with each type of TT being demo'd, as the designs are shown to be improved for the required mechanical interfaces on the TT and ultimately control of the TT's Speed.

It would be more useful iff you posted a link.

You go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about top secret experiments you have observed - are you a closet manufacturer or MI5 ??

@dover It is my experiences and outcomes of discussion and investigation I am sharing on this forum, with a few mentions periodically of how I intend on evolving a idea that has already manifested or even materialised.

I have Audio System I am very happy with, it allows me to replay music to a level that 'I' find very attractive, 'I' don't need more than this and can quite easily rest where 'I' am.

In parallel with the usage of a Audio System to enjoy time set aside for listening to Music Replays. 'I' have spent many years visiting others with a enthusiasm for audio and proven for their being creative with EE work and Mechanical work that is relating to audio reproduction. I have caught the bug a long time past and really enjoy a dabble in this area with no desire to remunerate myself in any way, most devices produced or bought in to be worked with are still owned, not my wifes favorite subject this one. I won't be changing this at any time, it is the other fuel that keeps the social aspect of my interest/hobby healthy and alive. I do not envisage a time where the social side of this interest in both meeting and listening/meeting and putting ideas for designs in place, will diminish. 

I deliberately keep info to a minimum when I have been dependent on the input of others to help achieve a design that functions, especially a functioning design that is creating the perception of a substantial improvement and performing above my expectations.

As far as I am concerned, the assistance offered and designs put to use, are not mine, but are the thought from others as a result of my priming the subject. It is for these individuals who are putting in the creative work, to come forward and pass on their IP, certainly not mine. I hope this is understandable, maybe that is that I am not too vociferous with sharing others IP, that is a Cornerstone of the relationships/friendships that have been built .  

I regularly put Links on this forum, especially with content that helps others determine where the fundamental ideas that I am working with and a advocate of are coming from. The added Link will show a individual who is worthwhile looking up in relation to Kaneta Variants

I can only share my experiences and these to others are merely opinions or suggestions. Further learning on a subject will need to carried out by others, it will be their footwork and how they develop a curiosity/creativity that brings their own rewards.

I know someone who gutted his SP10mk3 and created a new plinth structure for the motor/bearing/platter.

Unfortunately it sounded awful.

I also a spent a few years listening to a standard SP10mk3 with the matching Technics EPA100mk2, both purchased brand new, it was ok, but not revelatory.
