The tires are extremely important. as are the rubber vibration isolation pieces....

I have bought 5 Rek O Kuts and the rubber is in different states on all five. The quietest one I owned I sold to a friend. It had very supple rubber tires and the isolation pieces were nicely pliable.

This table just blew me away. Every album sounded so much better than I had ever heard it play before.

The one I am working on now has great isolation pieces and aweful tires....I will be playing this one for some fellow inmates this coming weekend. Hope they like it even if it is imperfect.

The sound on these tables is simply stunning when you get all the particulars worked out. Think 10k for a modern table and these Rek O Kuts might still play better music.

The prat and emotion of these tables is really incredible. Getting them quiet is cheap and easy.

Although I have not found new replacements for the isolation pieces. I will find some eventually.
