Vibration Issues / Turntable Decisions


Currently have a Thorens TB-150 which is upgraded to about the fullest extent (Cardas Wiring, New Walnut Plinth, MusicHall Cruise Control 2.0, Rega RB220 Arm, Ortofon 2M Bronze). With that being said, my table is plagued with skips if you all but tip-toe in the room. One of those things that just gets on my nerves. So I have been looking around for a mass-loaded TT.

Is changing to a ClearAudio Performance or MusicHall 9.3 really going to make a different in the skipping?
Any feedback on the Goldring Eroica LX Cart?
Are there any tables to be looking at?

Thanks!

Floor support.
For each area you want to stop floor vibes, get  into the crawl space with a four by four cut to the length long enough to span two nearby joists.  Place your piece of wood perpendicular to the two joists.  Prop the piece of wood up with a jack from HomeDepot which will cost less than $20.00 each. These jacks use a wrench to screw them up and down.  Easy to do. Works really well to quell the vibes!! You can dance near the area you've supported without skipping needle issues.
