Vibraplane vs. Minus k for Turntables

I had never heard of Minus K, until this thread. So thanks for putting it up. I just went to the Minus K website to check out their prices and specs. Seems like the BM8, which costs less than $3K, would be a good choice for most tt's, which tend to weigh less than the 105-lb upper limit of this model. Plus, the level of isolation is only a hair's breath less good (f=1.5Hz vs 0.5Hz) than their top model. Has anyone tried the BM8? Thanks.

Whoops! I see above that sdlevine is an owner of a BM8 and likes it. Moreover, I erred in reporting the performance of the BM8, which is f = 0.5Hz in the vertical plane, as sdlevine says. I will have to struggle with my conscience over purchasing one of these, maybe sell an extra turntable to pay for it.

I have been using a Minus K for over two years now. Mine is a custom BM-8, and it will support the Raven AC-3's weight and size.
The advantage to BM-8 over the BM-1 is the lower center of gravity, reduced height and looks.

Zero maintenance, once setup you can forget about it. You can jump up and down next to it and it will keep on playing cleanly.

Email me off line if you want more info.
