Technics SL-1000MK2
Technics SL-1000MKII
The SL-1000MK2 is an SP-10MK2 placed in the SH-10B3 obsidian plinth, with the same outboard SH-10E power-supply and the all-time-best EPA-100 tonearm.
Obsidian is volcanic glass ; as such, besides being very beautiful to look at, especially with the added wood strips, the SH-10B3 may resonate a little...
Glass in the Marantz Tt 1000 didn't sound too good either and that is why many (most) audiophiles bought the standalone SP-10MK2 and built custm plinths, generally based on multiple layers of plywood - the best material for audio uses.
And that made the SL-1000MK2 something of a rarity, at least compared to the standalone SP-10MK2 version which Technics sold in droves of multi-million hotcakes.
Everything you wanted to know (but were afraid to ask) about the SP-10 family here at soundfountain.
