B.B. King
J - That was harsh! I'm writhing in pain, after laughing soo hard. 
VPI Aries 2 , SME IV and Benz Micro Ruby 2 .
Dougdeacon has written extensively about the ZYX as compared to other options, but I'm not sure of the thread... 
Isolation fo SOTA TT?
I had a Sapphire which I traded for a Star, which I traded for a Cosmos. The best feet I had on the Star were brass cones from Sistrum. They screw onto the bolts for the rubber feet (which I don't really like.) They helped with the over all presen... 
A question about tracking/skating
Everything posted so far is good advice. When the tracking force is too light the cartridge can be 'springy' and can cause damage to the LP and cartridge. My preference is to lean toward the high side of the manufacturers recommended tracking forc...

Of the choices you listed, I would opt for the Shelter, but I agree with Kehut. The Airy 3x SB would be better and the UNIverse is better than the Airy but it costs twice as much.

Why do people write mean things about musicians

Manners or not, I still love you! 
Teres 265 or 320 vs. Sota Cosmos
I have found and eliminated a series of problems. The issue currently is that the arm lift assembly is sitting on top of the Cosmos chassis when the VTA is correct. To raise the arm enough requires me to set the VTA too high. I have been in contac... 
Upgrading and using the VPI 16 record cleaner
The model 16 has the vacuum asembly attached to the lid and this does not always allow for a thourough drying of the LP. The 16.5 requires you to increase the size of a hole on the deck and install a superior arm assembly. The old lid is discarded...
