VPI Scout or GEM Dandy PolyTable

Ok, so regarding the bouncy floor... what about throwing something like a Mapleshade or Ginkgo Cloud platform under the Thorens?

@raymonda I still might go with looking at a different table, going to test my brothers non-suspension table. If it does improve the footfall issues I have, then I will let you know and list my table here on A'gon.

Thx.

I wouldn't discount the Polytable because of it's weight or use of polymers.  You get a great tonearm that makes cartridge swapping easy.  From an engineering standpoint, a non-metallic chassis is not necessarily a bad thing.

 That is a very good point, I agree not something to write off just yet. Once I try a non-suspended table design, I should have a better idea where I stand. I will report back after the testing is completed.

Started recent "$2000 turntable?" thread.
After researching a lot of good advice I went with the PolyTable.
Glad I did.
Fremer calls it Stereophile Class B. (August issue)
Recent positive TAS review: "Editors Choice"
Had considered Scout also.
Haven't A/B tested but, based on extensive research,
no doubt in my mind the PolyTable sounds better.
George Merrell is a "Living Legend" for a reason.
He is also a wonderful guy.
I'd give him a call.
