Technics has launched their new model of direct-drive turntable SP-10R for a few years.
There isn't any dealer for it in Hong Kong so it's until last week that I had the chance to listen to it at a friend's home.
My friend David pairs it with the Oswalda Mill Audio cast-iron plinth.
MF wrote a rather detailed review on Stereophile in 2019 so I won't repeat the tech details but only to share some photos with you.

Both the drive mechanism and plinth are heavy.
Must employ a logistic company or one will be risking his own back.

The OMA plinth without the drive mechanism.
It's a two-tonearm model.

Another friend who is an expert in setting up turntable helped David to set up and fine-tune the SP-10R.

The tonearm was Axiom and the cartridge was Etsuro Gold.
The rack is a SRA Craz3.
For the 4 corners of the OMA plinth, Audio Replas special treated stainless steel spikes were installed

We also tried putting diff materials between the turntable and the rack, such as granite plate & slate plate.

Even a Minus-K CT2 anti-vibration platform :

Interestingly we found that putting the turntable directly on the SRA gave the most natural performance.

Analog Corner #282: OMA Plinth for Technics SP10, SAT CF1-12 tonearm, Doshi V3.0 phono stage
Last May I got a text message from my vinyl-loving electrician: "Hey Michael, I'm listening to WFMU and a young 12 year old analog genius is guest DJ-ing, Malachi Lui. He mentioned you, and talks about mastering and pressingshe's incredible. I imagine he's been in touch with you. Hope all is...
