    If it’s anything like the ones KAB used to make, there are places for the feet to slide into to make it flush.

    I’ve actually had one of these bases sitting unused in my basement for years if anybody wants it.

    Yep, that was my inspiration. I used a flat bottom instead. The 1200 and his feet are standing inside the plinth and I put the plinth on AT absorber feet. It's a little difficult for me to explain in detail cause English is not my first language. Take a look at this Building a solid wood plinth for my Technics SL-1200MK2 for more inspiration.

    Ah! It's a laundry room counter with storage above. Perfect for a cleaning station and storage of water, fluids, etc.

    Hard to say which is better as I consider them to go hand-in-hand. The idea is I try to get as much debris off before the next cleaning stage. I figure the cleaner the record, the better any machine or cleaning process will work.

    For an over-the-top cleaning experience:
    • I start with a Giotto blaster to blow off as much dust as possible.
    • Next comes the VPI to scrub and suck off all I can.
    • Then into the ultrasonic for a quick rinse (no drying if I'm going to undertake a manual scrub)
    • If needed, I take the record out of the ultrasonic while still wet and clean manually on the counter top with Disc Doctor brushes, sucking the dirt with dedicated VPI wands.
    • Back into the ultrasonic for a final rinse and dry.

    That said, if I had to pick just one machine it would likely be a string type machine. If I had to choose between the VPI and the KLAudio, I suppose I'd pick the KLaudio and simply change the water more frequently than I do. Even pre-cleaning, it gets dirty quickly.

    Thanks! Just a temporary situation, this all came together without much thought or effort. I am enjoying it quite a bit, easy to lose track of time with it.

    If I had that setup my wife would have to set up flashing red lights to get my attention and make me come inside (in the summer anyway). Nice beer selection by the way.

    Where did you source the auxiliary weight to balance the arm with the SPU: KAB? Bespoke? Self-made?

    That's beautiful work!

    How does the plinth change the sound of the 1200?

    Thank you. Soundwise it make no big difference, at least none that I recognised with the type of music that I listen to. I am by no means an audiophile.

    It's made by Technics for the 1200G works on the 1200MK2 as well. Part Number is TPAKK62.

    Hi, your post finally made me do something about my speakers. I had some spare MDF, but may look into replacing the base with something more substantial.

    Also 'made' a slate base for my TT as the top of my AV unit is quite resonant, actually its awful as the cheapskates that sold it have used a thin oak sheet (3/8")

    Very nice! It all looks sharp, and should definitely help to minimize any resonance or vibrations, especially for the TT.

    If you have extra slate, I would think that would serve as well as marble, mdf, or anything similar for a speaker base. At that point, it might only be a matter of what's more aesthetically appealing.

    Enjoy! :righton:
