I have had several turntables, and I have found that floor and rack made more difference than anything. I would say to go with a piece of equiptment that sounds as good as possible and then get a rack which is as stable as possible. Some floors just will never be stable at all. I had a SOTA which you could jump next to, and now I have an LP!2 which is quite sensative. Personally, the arm and cartridge I have (benz ace/rega) I am sticking with the Linn because I simply spent the requisite money on a great rack. It is still effected, but is much better. I am happier with the sound overall, so it is a trade off.
