Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths

I would like to hear from anyone that has purchased a panzerholz plinth from Porter Audio or a panzerholz DIY project.
Reading through all that I could find on this subject it's obvious Mr. Porter did his home work on his design.
My question to those of you whom refurbished, replinth and rearmed some of these direct drives has it advanced analog playback for you?

Dear Mapman: How about, combo of mat and tonearm/cartridge. Most important?

well IMHO the mat makes a difference and has a critical importance. Hard to say which TT link is more important but IMHO whatever you think the mat could be at the top.

regards and enjoy the music,

Regarding TT mats I have a Micro cu180 my question, is this mat too heavy for the bearing of a sp10mkii?

The CU-180 is the perfect mat for an SP10mk2 and it is one of the best mats made. You're a lucky guy!

What is the weight of a CU-180? The stock MK2 mat weighs a bit more than half a pound. I would not use a mat that weighs much more than 1.5 lbs. It is not the bearing I would worry about; it is the servo action. The servo and motor were designed together for a specific total mass of platter + mat. But this is REALLY off-topic.

If it's the Micro Seiki CU-180, it weights 1.8kg / ~4 pounds.
