Hello to all Vinylistas out there...

There are different possibilities to achieve a good base for a vintage turntable.

But if you are questing the most involving musical experience and looking for an ageless and classy housing for your beloved Garrard 301 / 401 or Thorens 124 my approach could be your way to win it. 


Here some comments from a fellow vinyl lover in Australia:

Made in Berlin by Martin Brenner, who, along with compatriot Norbert Gutte of LignoLab, makes the world’s finest timber plinths (yes, in my opinion Shindo included), this one is a breathtaking example. Constructed with a heavy frame of solid, oiled Pearwood, it employs a top "plate" of 32mm plywood - internally sandwiching another layer of timber - and is topped with Forbo, an inert (and expensive) industrial laminate.For those who believe a completely coupled multi-ply, slate, cherrywood etc solid plinth is the the only way to extract Garrard sound at an elite level, think again.  Squash ball suspension, adjustable feet and a clever selection of optional shims and felt bars have the Vinylista design functioning at a stratospheric sonic level. I too had been exclusively a devotee of the solid mounting strategy until I heard this plinth. Loricraft in England have used a similar suspended design but Brenner’s meticulous workmanship and material selection have definite and immediate advantages. It results in musical playback that is exacting, exciting and beautifully "weighted", with fine detail and peerless imaging.  It’s simply about as good a synergistic match as things get for a Garrard 301.

Thanks for the kind words Andrew !

Note: I didn't use squash balls any more. My new suspension design is realized with a adjustable combination of POM/Sorbothane for maintenance free and long lasting bearing. And it even sounds much better...


Some kind words about a Thorens 124:

Dear Martin, I wrote to you a few weeks ago, telling you that I was
lucky enough to acquire on eBay within 2 weeks before Xmas a used
but superb Vinylista Pearwood Zarge adapted for a TD 124 and, in a
different auction, a great Thomas Schick 12" tonearm, also second
hand, but in pristine condition. As I wrote you, I had red questionable comments on an Internet chat about the compatibility between your plinth and the Thorens. The sonic result is so splendid that I don't resist to send a picture of your beautiful product in its new Parisian home ! Thanks a lot, Martin ! I will take great care of your beauty ! Didier




I have plinths made of Oak, Walnut, Elm Wood, Maple, Pear and Birch current in stock, suitable for 12" tonearms and also some smaller plinth for 9" arms. Even a Connaisseur variant for 2 x 12" arms is available...

Thanks for looking ! If you are interested in further information please refer to my new website and feel free to ask me:
