gladstone: verdier makes beautiful stuff, no doubt about it. i've only listened to it at trade shows, so i know nothing of its robustness or parts availability. if you live in north america rather than europe, tho, i highly recommend you consider upper-end basis tables. a.j. conti's products are manufactured to unmatched tolerances. moreover, he stands behind his products with unflagging care and responsiveness. of the tt's i've listened to extensively, the basis debut mark v vacuum is simply the best. -kelly
ps- i've not heard the amazon 'tables. IMO, they appear to be aimed at unreconstructed tweakers. (thats not, BTW, an intentionally pejorative comment.)-fks
