funk firm t'tables?


Anyone know about funk firm tables? They're a newer lineup from the people at pink triangle. Sepcifically anyone know about the funk table? here's a few basic specs for 860 w/out arm.
The Funk is equipped with:
# Achroplat (pat pend): Improving on acrylic, it is the perfect Achromatic (non-resonant) support.
# Inverted Sapphire Bearing. Very hard, very highly polished. Seen in the highest performance decks.
# DC Motor drive. Low vibration and optimally matched to the platter?s inertia for consistent drive.
# Sorbothane connected feet to isolate critical midband energy from the outside world.
Also, I know people love this: what would you put as the best table in this price range?

Is anyone aware of who is importing these?Any comparison to the Clearaudio Satisfy/Emotion series.Would you use the RB-300 Incognito or a Graham Robin,etc?? Would the arm choice dictate use or exclusion of any good MCs?
I believe that the above mentioned VDH Condor was tried after several other cartridges,this was done to determine the limiting factors for the supplied table.I believe a re-read is in order.It seemed that the other tables didn't justify doing this.After looking at the represented graghing of performance,it wasn't necessary.
Piedpiper:who is the "someone" who drew your attention to this detail.It would be more prudent to have them post this,then to mention this on their behalf anonymously.
Yes,I am interested in this table.I believe it would be an asset to find products that perform above and beyond their price-point.
My question would be:for the money,what arm/cartridge mounted on the Funk Vector would yield the best results.
Vectuer,Rega modified or the up-coming redesigned Graham Robin?Is a Koetsu Black too much for this ?
Thank you for your response.Being a dealer,would you feel it appropriate to address the arm/cartridge questions?It has been a long while since I had exposure to the current crop. Would the compliance or other issues affect your choice of arm/cartridge?
Thank you in advance:Piedpiper.
Seeing that the Funk Vector with Incognito RB 300 is almost in the same price range as the new Clearaudio Performance,can anybody compare arms or complete tables:Satisfy,RB 250/300 modded or the Origin OL/Encounter?
Cyto,
Have you experimented with other footers/lifting the table off the sorbothane ffet?
I am assembling an analog rig,which will center around the Funk Vector.My conversations with their supplier seems to indicate that the mounting of this table on its' sorbothane feet has pros and cons.The table is a de-coupled affair and the supplied feet ,keep it that way.However,the supplied feet (as attached) can collapse or shift (also noted in some of the reviews).Some experiments with coupling the table have changed its' sound,not always for the best.I intend to try some brass footers on mine,then use the isoblocks.This should give a little perspective on the coupled/decoupled situation.As I understand it,the sorbothane feet are attached via a small screw assembly.Sadly,that assembly is part plastic,so this should be done slowly and carefully.
