Audiotomb, my floor is wood laminated slab.I don't feel any serious issues coming directly from floor vibrations.Looking for a general isolation solution. 
Most suitable and effective isolation platform
Jperry, you're saying that both are required?An SRA/HRS platfrom under your table and the MinusK/Vibraplane below it? Or the other way around?Sounds like a very expensive solution... 
Most suitable and effective isolation platform
Thanks!Mike, looking for the price of the Herzan I've come across a quote of ~$10000 - if that's the case - it's way off budget. Also, it would seem a bit overkill to place a ~$13000 TT on a $10k dedicated platform.

Rogue M-150
I have recently replaced my Sovteks 12AX7LPS with the new Groove Tubes 12AX7 Mullard replicas on my Tempest II.The GT are extremely quiet, the mids are warmer, and you get a more 3D-like soundstage, the treble is more smooth and airy, but I might ...
