Don't buy from HigherFI.com

2 Cents worth:

I had a well executed magnetic platform with a VPI scout and  Dynavector Ta Kura (sp?) Rue cart. While it did make for interesting conversation with house guests, the magnetic field killed the sound of this low output moving coil.  So, I put a big walnut amp stand on spikes on top to move the turntable about 5" higher. This made all the difference in sound. I never found any sonic benefit that I could identify from the whole magnetic platform concept. The weight of the turntable alone caused a rather stiff compression of the magnetic field that transmitted the floor and sonic vibrations from what I observed. And if you think about it, why would a powerfully linked magnetic field somehow dissolve vibration energy. Aren't most speakers working a electrically energized field coil producing sound by interaction with a strong magnetic field. I suggest you save your money for something more beneficial, like a tube-preamp or better cables.

just open up a case in paypal resolution centre , if confused give ebay a call they will help you but you only have 32 days i believe from purchase date, when a seller states no returns i have learnt to just ignore that if the product you purchased is not fit for the purpose you purchased and the seller is a complete a******e like this chris moon fella just call ebay they could even limit hes account so know one else has this awful bad buying experience get on that phone straight away good luck mate

@wgutz,
Thanks for posting your experience with the Mag-Lev. It looks interesting, but whether it does what it should is another matter.

I am not trying to diminish your experience with Higherfi, but I will say that I met Chris at his home in Florida and have been very happy with the Avalon speakers he sold me. (I only spoke with him by phone before, after I saw the speakers listed.)

...which begs the question, where DID your RMA get sent to?

As far as turntable platforms go, I did a thick DIY glass-based one with sobathane feet. I could not be happier -- works very well and attenuates most common vibrations. (I picked glass because it is readily available, looks great, and has properties of both a solid and a liquid.)
