Dear Halcro and Dover,
I am trying to reconstruct each argument.
Halcro, you seemed to infer, back a few months ago, that a plinth cannot have much effect on structural rigidity of the Mk3, because of the way its spindle/bearing housing is supported within the chassis proper. Ergo, Newton and his 3rd Law go out the window. Is that a fair re-statement of your thesis?
Dover, It seems you are supporting my side, but you are also arguing with something I may have written earlier about whether you can hear the speed correction going on with a servo mechanism. Did I say that? Have you really heard the very same Mk3 that was originally modified a la what Bill Thalmann has recently done with Albert Porter's Mk3? (Bill did tell me that part of the cost of the modifications is due to some financial arrangement with their inventor.) And are you indeed saying you disliked the sound due to an aberration you attribute to audible action of the servo? I hope I was not so presumptuous as to say you cannot hear what you say you hear. I do hear a slight coloration with a fully serviced SP10 Mk2, but I cannot necessarily attribute it to servo action. However, I hear no coloration at all, or less than with any other tt in my memory, with a similarly prepped Mk3, in my slate and wood plinth. That's just me reporting my own observation, not gospel. Your re-statement of my description of the effects of the latest mod to Mk3 (and Mk2, if so desired) is spot on, by the way.
