SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth
SH10-B3 - for SP10mkii & SP20 obsidian /wood base, 12kg Guys, have any of you ever seen an original SH10B3 plinth different from the usual black color high gloss? I own had this for quite some time, I am convinced that it is very very rare, the reason why Panasonic decided to apply a different color is completely unknown to me. Here |
@best-groove, My Obsidian plinth looks exactly the same as the one on your reference ''Here''. However instead of marker B3 my sample has ''SL-1000,mk 2''. It is not clear what you own because your description is not clear but from the context one can deduce that the color of your sample is different than black? Why is the color of interest to you? |
@nandric I was simply curious to understand why the Technics made this obsidian plinth (the photos are of my plinth) gray with veins rather than black like all those produced and seen in the world. Is this a special series? I have never been able to discover anything about my strange plinth for this I ask in forums that I attend if anyone can know the story. |
Been working on the project for a friend who has purchased my Technis SP-10mkII with Micro Seiki CU-500 copper mat. He decided to go Obsidian way and i was looking for SH-10B3 plinth for him. Finally i got it and it looks better than i expected in my studio. Not sure how we can find a dust cover, but he asked me to find one. Must be hard to find. The Obsidian base will be polished by a local guy next week. I think it will be even better than what we have now. I’ve noticed that we have to make custom armboard, because the Victor UA-7045 tonearm must be mounted 7-12mm lower than the level of the stock armboard to make the arm wand parallel to the platter. The stock footers will be removed and replaced by mi Audio-Technica AT-616 pneumatic insulators. |
Not sure how we can find a dust cover, but he asked me to find one. I found an original dust cover for H10B3 a year ago, but I paid it very, very dear. At that price adding a few more euros I would have definitely found a complete SH10B3 base. Is mat Saec? differences compared to the Micro CU 180 mat? AT 616 I not have you ever seen these feet in my life, hold up more weight than AT 636 and are they better? |
