@rdk777  Thank you for your reply!  Yes, the J Sikora is quite expensive, but is what I would consider my ultimate last turntable ever.  Nevertheless, the Stabi R Wood is a very nice table as well and I think it could keep me very happy for the l... 
Kuzma Stabi R vs Dr. Feickert Woodpecker 2 vs TD 124DD
@rdk777  "You can also get the Stabi R in a wood frame" Last year at the AXPONA 2023 near Chicago, I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing the Stabi R in the walnut wood base.  I have to say, imho, that it was very attractive and the sound was v...

Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA
@kingdombuildingcon  My apologies for reviving such an old thread.... I was just curious if you stayed with the EMT cartridge or have moved on to something else?  If so, what did you end up getting? Did you ever find out what the difference is ...

Turntable Isolation Journey
@drbond  Thank you so much for sharing the link! I’ll give them a try and report back 👍 I’m curious… 1. Did you place them directly under the turntable’s feet or just under the plinth? 2.  I see this company has rubber/steel/rubber pads as we...
