You have only two choices, SOTA or SME, the suspended tables only. Both are excellent tables by any measure. The SOTA Cosmos is an incredible bargain. It is just as good as the SME and 1/2 the price. You have a little more versatility with the SME in regard to arms. Both are single arm tables but the tonearm boards are easy enough to change if you want to switch to another arm. To me this business about making a turntable look like jewelry is silly. The SOTA Cosmos in Macassar Ebony is gorgeous.
Turntable that will be around heavy foot steps?
Looking for suggestions for turntables that would be used in a show/demo environment where there would be heavy foot steps/footfall about 3-6 feet from the turntable. Think Headfi vendor exhibition tables if you've been to a Canjam or the like.
Using it with an isolation platform is also an option. Lets say under $10k for used including the tonearm.
