That's nice Larry.

Any improvement in sound output with the new plinth?

Joey,

I haven't tested it because the owner's headshell and cartridge are not yet with me. But from experience it will have a positive effect because of mass loading. I have a similar Thorens TD160 super TT with heavier plinth that trounces my digital source (picture below).
