I know how some folks around here feel about messing with the low mass concept from rega,well, I had always think that the reason for rega to make those pliths so cheap is to save a buck, here it is my own plinth,(3) 3/4 MDF boards glued together, besides, that the dimensions remain the same, How doe sit sound? I like to think that much better than before.

Hi I am thinking of doing the same, can you post the dimensions of the plinth and the holes and diameters?
Thanke
no dimensions, but an alternative ....
to my arch-nemesis MDF.
Baltic Birch or Applewood ply is approximately the same mass, but are "constrained" layer types.
I found some "clearance " Bamboo cutting boards locally that are going to be made into a plinth, these ones are only 3/4" thick so I will glue them up...

Nice plinth - I may do that myself eventually. I also have a big marble sink cutout that I'm considering using as a base underneath that, but I have to figure out the suspension first.
On my older Planar 2, the distance between the spindle and the center of the pulley is measured around 2-3/4" (70mm). You can search the forum for the arm mounting distance - which arm do you have? IIRC, Rega mounts their arms at 222mm from the spindle center (which matches with what I just measured on my deck).
Hope this helps.
