Pauly,
Kudos to the 3 Ds and Cello,
"Taking a chance," might be considered to be a badge of honor, unless you have the hours, years, and dollars, AND WILL, to make a mistake by trying something that might make a difference. If proven performance is what you're looking for , check out the Audiogon listings for " The best of everything," on the market yesterday, you can't beat the price.-----The price is BANKABLE.
I spoke with Chris at Teres, thanks Larry, regarding TT isolation and the conversation was beneficial. True gentleman in the audio industry will impart their knowledge without a ulterior motive-- financial.
I've been reading the Icons of Audiogon for a few years and finally decided to couple their TT knowledge and experience with my DIY gene. I've spent enough building a TT, that should be up and running in a month or two, that would have enabled me to purchase a Walker, or the Continuum, the cheap model!!. When it's done, I'll love the way it sounds, after all , half of enjoying music is the mood you're in when the stylus drops. When you couple technology with musical passion, you win, regardless of the price you've paid for the gear.
Being a small business owner in Virginia, with only one competitor 40 times my size, on the California - Mexico border, I realize that value and service is what it takes to survive.
If you rely on, and buy, the tried and true engineering of yesterday, Just buy USED.
