amp question
I agree with Rayooo always buy the better unit and tune with tweaks later. 
amp question
I don't think it's baloney at all those devices do work but they won't make an LS-26 sound "better" than a Ref 3. They will help components sound "better" in that they clean up the sound, less vibrations effecting the sound is a good thing althoug... 
For Basis TT owners does the VPI SDS work?
DasI'm hoping for a yes answer also so I checked on Elusive Disc where it says; "The SDS works best with synchronous motor driven turntables, such as those from VPI."Then from Galen Carol Basis Turntables reviews-motor; " Basis employs an ultra h...
