Technics SP10 MKII discussion

Yes I believe it reduces that chances of resonance at any one frequency. The Cotter base is made up of 6mm and 4mm alternating steel/plastic sheets....weight estimates vary but between 50-75kg.

I like what Kuzma have done but I think there is more that could be done with the styling. Although I do not find it bad looking, quite the contrary.

Back to the Technics...fantastic turntable and I love what people have been doing here. I rate the Kaneda laminated bases over the obsidian any day. However you would think that given 20 years or so...that some new materials would offer greater advances.

I recall also that SAEC did a special base for the Technics...extremely rare and very heavy. A bit Micro Seiki-ish in styling with ability to mount a number of arms in the grooves along the sides. It also came in a cabinet too. See photo:

 

If you really want to isolate your TT, put it in another room from the speakers. This works.

 

Unless your kid goes and twats it one

Yeah good call...but it's also a matter of isolating it from itself.

 

You certainly have to isolate the TT from itself, but airborne vibration is also a real issue with analogue.
I suspect you really need to do both.
