Can't talk about the Majik, but in my experience, having started off with a Basik power supply and then upgraded to a Lingo 2, the difference was quite considerable. Before the Lingo, I didn't think there really was much of a difference between my olde Rega and the LP12. As for footfalls, my table sits on an old Sound Organisation 3 tier stand which is on a wood floor. Waliking around the room is never a problem. I guess Linn's suggestion of a light and solid stand is the right one.
