I have heard both the System II Sirius and the System III Sirius and like the System III a bit better......Both tables will eat virtually anything else out there in terms of noise floor and low level detail due to the lack of metal to metal contact in the main bearing, but so will my sport model, the Capella.....The System III appears to me sweeter as does the Capella than the System II Sirius probably on account of the composite of materials used in the Capella and System III Sirius compared to the granite in the System II Sirius.....Pure speculation on my part BTW and I completely agree with Mike as there is nothing like a Rockport out there regardless of vintage......I've had mine for ten years and it isn't going anyplace.....
