I have a VPI TNT VI. Without the Townshend Seismic Sink, I would have returned the turntable. @chakster is wrong. There are micro/mini vibrations occurring which do not cause the stylus to skip out of the groove but radically affect the sound. Now that the Seismic Sink is retired from the Townshend line-up, I would recommend his Platform and Pods. I recommend Townshend products (their Allegro+ master transformer attenuator sounded fabulous at the Long Beach audio show).
