A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Dgob,
I think it was mostly stainless steel by mass but I will try to dig up that information. I have a copy made by a metals engineer who tried to copy the SAEC plinth, and the thing has three layers of different metal with slightly different resonances. It does weigh a short ton.

FYI: a set of AT 616 footers just showed up on eBay. I would get them but my turntable repairs suggest to me I may not have a functioning sp10 to put on top of these beautiful footers. Sigh.

Sorry. Premature. A little bird (and my bottomless desire to buy new audio stuff) suggested that I grab the AT 616 footers, so I did. Now hopefully my technics will stop acting up and work properly so I can try these out.

I guess this is one way?
BIG
And these are others?
NOT SO BIG
Do they all sound the same?

Banquo, I have nothing to say about Copernicus, but did you ever get your SP10 squared away by Berdan or Thalmann? If not, and if it's still unreliable, IMO you should reconsider it.
