All this turntable talk and no love for the Well Tempered concept?
Chatter-free viscous damped platter bearing, chatter-free viscous damped tonearm bearing, physically isolated motor? WT has 'em all. I bought the original WTT/TA in 1988 after owning an LP12, a Technics SP-12 w/AT tonearm, and a SOTA Sapphire with a Premier FT3. I found it to be superior to all of them in quiet no-stress sound and operation, incredibly static-free in the dry months, and have never even thought of replacing it. I now run a vintage Grace F9 Ruby with low hours in it after using a van Den Hul MC10 for most of its life. Look into their Amadeus.
