Ive had my Gem V2 for two years and its worked flawlessy. Dead quiet backround, no hum or noise issues migrating to the preamp. Couldn t be happier. Fussy guy so I add new oil every six months to platter bearing.Speed control is dead on and motor quiet, no issues.I used a stethascope to isolate turntable and found cork is excellent in reducing vibrations from transfering from tonearm, platter and motor and vice versa vibrations transfering from shelf to turntable. Did i say I was a fussy guy lol. Excellent comunication from Larry and Chris on set up advice, no service was ever needed. Lots of hours put on this turntable as I work shift and have weeks off at a time to enjoy. A product that definately gives me a big bang for my buck . Thanks TTWeights.
