I personally own a Clearaudio Solution with Origin Live RB250 tonearm and have been suitably impressed. It does offer, as previously stated, a very quick and clean sound though certainly not in the 'analytical' realm (a camp I generally steer away from). A most enjoyable and 'pleasant-to-listen-to' sound in my system. My listening room has a carpeted concrete floor and the table sits on a relatively stable rack, so footfalls are not an issue and I couldn't offer much insight on this area, though I do have the spiked feet resting on Yamamura Art-Q Dampers for further isolation. Good luck with your vinyl quest.
