VPI Avenger Reference + Stillpoint Ultra V's


I have a VPI Avenger Reference TT sitting on a Gingko base and was wondering if anyone has replaced the standard feet (i.e. cones stabilizers sitting in Delrin/ball bearing isolation base) with Stillpoint Ultra V's.   If so, can you share your thoughts on the sonic benefits as well as the mechanics of making the switch?  Thanks.

I think Stillpoints under a VPI table could be beneficial, if the entire rig is set on a solid platform/shelf first.  Stillpoints would then be placed under the solid shelf, so that they would serve the same function as the rollerballs in a Gingko platform. This is a more expensive way to do what Gingko is aiming to do with reductions in acoustical feedback to the turntable.  Gingko uses squash balls; Stillpoints use expensive bearings.  Most Gingko platforms require that the entire turntable rig, including motor, be set on the upper platform, so the whole thing can be suspended.
