RE: Another angle....

Me too.

What the guy doing the plinthless mod doesn't appear to understand is the the LP 12 plinth is not just a box to hide the internal mechanics from sight. It has a function which is to act as a sink for the excess mechanical energy ( excess = that not converted into electricity by the cartridge motor) that is generated during playing a record.

In fact the material that the plinth is made from affects its ability in this area and those Linnies that have compared 'tables with different plinth materials will have found that they sound different to one another. Unfortunately some of the best looking woods make a less good sounding turntable.
