    Great review!
    I wonder if i can keep my thick MNPCtech feet on my technics to fit this one or need to change back to the originals . Looks so good.

    That is a very nice looking plinth. I appreciate the link and info. Maybe one of these could be in my 1210 Mk.V's future.

    I just bought a 1210GR and had it delivered last Friday. I also own a VPI Classic 1 30th Anniversary. I will look at the stand because it looks marvelous. My questions: So it seems that you can add extra feet that will fit under this new wood base, I'm looking at the IsoAcoustic Gaia III? Do you use your additional weight on the counterweight with your cartridges as I noticed that my numbers seemed off without it on counterwieght scale?
    I always use a digital scale and shure analog for tracking weight as a counter measure. How accurate did you find the technics white overhang guage, as I still use my Dr. Feickert to double check, is the needle suppose to be slightly over the overhang guage to match the arrow? Have you noticed that when you let down the tonearm lifter the arm slights dips, but recovers before going on to the record? My goal buying this besides sound was to quickly change between cartridges with a good mono cartridge in mind. Thanks for all you do with the videos and it is good to see you back in the mix again Dale.

      Hi thanks for watching.
      1. Any feet attach to the turntable. The plinth itself has no threaded holes. My butcher block acoustics stand takes the same "thread" as the 1200.The Gaia feet should work with the Butcher block. And I see no reason for them not to work with the TT and Plinth.
      2. I do not need the counterweight since I can level the tonearm without it. However, I know that many do use it with heavier cartridges and/or headshells. For instance, if you want to use an Ortofon SPU, you'll need a counterweight. I'm not certain if the supplied counterweight effects the Technics lid closing. Some larger aftermarket counterweights do not allow the lid to be closed.
      3. I aligned my cartridge where the stylus is even with the gage. However, I do not think slight deviation would be a major issue.
      4. My tonearm goes down straight. Your tonearm set up may be a bit off. What cartridge do you have? Are you using the stock headshell?

      @@archifi9978 I have three head shells and used a dynavector 10x5 stock headshell, Hana EH and a Denon Dl-301mk II. My Hana ML is on the VPI and I have several other cartridges that I will be buying headshells for. The arm goes down, but when it is at its highest point, when lowering, it drops, then smoothly goes down. My goal would be to apply the Gaia feet to the turntable and put the custom plinth around that. So, I get it, no false feet and the plinth is a wrap around, and what ever feet you have go through, thanks. I just didn’t want any obstacles in the way of the Gaias. This is a very good table with excellent bass, drive and pitch. I wasn’t sure if the bass was going to be as good as the VPI, but depending on musical choices, it’s better.
