This is going to be a study of various Linn LP12 plinths, both Linn plinths and aftermarket plinths. This page will act as a dumping ground for the raw data until I have time to actually put everything together in a meaningful way.
What I hope to find in all of this is a resonant behavior that can be correlated to the subjective sound quality of each plinth. I have a feeling that the actual behavior that improves the perceived sound quality will be a systemic one. In other words it will be more complicated than just the plinth, it will involve the plinth and its connection to the top plate, springs and sub-chassis. Unfortunately, finding a systemic behavior like that is very difficult. So, instead of looking for the cause of the SQ difference I am going to be looking for a direct correlation between the plinths measured behavior and the SQ, even if it is not the actual causation.

Hi.
I like seeing what you are studying…
I built a couple of the plinths you measured, and am also interested in resonance & the relationship between all elements of the turntable and the effects on resonance between the stylus and the groove.. Perhaps we could coordinate on some future research..
Please contact me at the e-mail address provided.
Thank you.
