It looked nice though and was hidden under a hinged cover. He had a custom cabinet made for the whole system and looking back the turntable was mounted poorly. On the HH Scott Preamp the rumble filter was always turned on. My fathers Rek O Kut Turntable not only rumbled but it fed back like crazy. Put a Kuzma 4 point 9 on any of them and you will be in heaven. They will just go along like nothing happened. You can jump up and down on wooden floors and neither the SME's or the SOTA will care at all. The SOTA in the right wood like cherry, rosewood or Ebony are plain beautiful. The Clearaudio is a cool looking table and very nicely made. The Cosmos is about the same price as the Clearaudio. The new ones have a magnetic bearing just like the Clearaudio, vacuum hold down and an extravagant DC motor drive. SOTA's are American made and much more reasonable. SME tend to be very pricey but I think the 15 is in your price range. If you have wood floors you will be much happier with a suspended turntable like the SME or SOTA tables. Some people will use wall shelves which can help but may not be perfect depending on the construction of the house. Fixed tables need to be on concrete floors. Wood floors bounce and this will unsettle just about any non suspended turntables even the heavy ones. The Clearaudio is not a suspended turntable (neither is the Garrard.) It will work well when placed on a solid footing from floor to stand. Even if you do not have a sub the magnetic bearing on the Clearaudio is handily better. The Garrard will drive you nuts with rumble. If you are using a subwoofer you really have no choice.
