Music Doc, you have done your research! I think your TT with its mass is perfect for the Tg Audio tonearm IC. It is sheilded, and can be stiff/heavy as a result of the sheilding Bob uses. This is the only issue I have ever heard anyone leavy against Bob's tonearm IC. So if you have a delicate suspension (Michell or Linn) you might be better off with a SilverBreeze (no where near as good an Ic mind you, but close enough if your suspension is a concern).
Also, if you see a used Highwire tonearm Ic check it out as well. Not quite Tg Audio, but damn near the SilverBreeze just not as "wet" a soundstage as either of the other 2. The SilverBreez is a bit "wetter" of the 2, like a damp fog is inbetween the players in the stage. But the Tg just sings; MUCH better bass, both in terms of focus, speed, precision, pitch, PRaT, boogie, much more rosin bow and body if you will. Thus you have a bigger stage with better seperation and focus. The Tg also has more hall info - but not in a Hifi way. Just Musical as all get out.
Super quiet, all the things Ryan said applies to the tonearm Ic as well - even more so as it is at "THE" source.
Just be patient upon ordering. Bob's IC's are priced just right, as you get a hell of a steal considering how incredible they sound; but you have to wait for Bob to build 'em and burn them in - patience is the hardest part of ordering from the CrumperPhonic (hard to do for most audio geeks I know).
