AVID Isorak, anyone tried ?
No one ? Isnt AVID popular enough in this part of the world ? They make excellent turntables hence I assumed they will have know how on vibration control and use it in their racks also.

Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet?
Actusreus, I forgot to add, the RCM is a superb phonostage. Please do not drop it from your shortlist because of my Delos issue. I have heard the RCM in at least 6 different carts including the ZYX 4D and it is one heck of a phonostage. Very quiet...

Turntable Platform - What do you place your TT on
Has anyone tried out this platform:http://www.acoustic-revive.com/english/underboard/rhb-20.htmlThis is quite affordable, comes from a reputed "tweaker" company and seems functional. Anyone aware of this product ? 
Turntable Platform - What do you place your TT on
Has anyone tried hard solid wood like Ebony platforms on top of a generic AV rack. I am trying to understand how important is the rack itself compared to the platform on which the TT rests. 
Turntable Platform - What do you place your TT on
