Please let me know that business's name. Im searching for a good used Minus K.

The Symposium Ultra Stealth turntable shelf gives better bass detail,better detail,better imaging,cleaner highs etc.Why would you say snake oil which is a very over used word.Good luck though!!

It was several years ago now, and the firm was a random "capital asset disposition" firm in Silicon Valley, whose name I do not recall.  What I do recall was that I trolled Ebay for months in search of active vibration isolation tables, and then I stumbled on these that were somehow improperly classified or mis-named, and they had no bids on them.  So, I snapped them up for almost nothing.  That is the path that worked for me.

Even when the stand is leveled, there’s still some wobble due to the flexibility of the stand posts which are just screw-in legs and such. Is this solution just not viable for a proper turntable setup?

I put the turntable on top of a 27 lbs maple butcher block which is sitting on a trio of Symposium Rollerblocks — this seemed to significantly improve performance. The StudioDeck itself isn’t very heavy, only around 17-18 lbs.
