Always glad to have someone improve on my opinions. Not much understanding can be advanced without contrast

I am a great believer in spring suspended turntables, and own one myself, so we have that in common. I'd also wager we are also pretty close in appreciating design practicality. My table has a self oiling main platter bearing, hard to get more practical then that, even if it might not excel sonically over all other designs.

I went from a nicer direct drive japanese table of the seventies , to a belt drive suspended design in the eighties, and the improvement was so impressive, and my budget so limited, I felt mo reason to change from a design that worked for me when I secured my all the turntable I will ever need item, although I do realize other designs can be just as valid.

For myself, I'm glad t have an acoustic isolation system incorporated in the design, and that I don't have to devise, as an amateur , some kind optimal additional isolating device between the turntable and the supporting shelf.
