Next step in Turntable

Whilst Viewing the Isonoe Footers.
It is noticeable that the Footers share a similar Suspension Method, to the Solid Tech 'FoS'.
Looking at the Method of attachment of the O Rings it does seem possible to increase the Diameter of the O Ring to produce a improved weight carrying Footer.

What is likeable is the Easy to Remove / Threaded Attachment,
Contact Point for the Plinth or Equipment.

I was intending at some point on producing a New Contact Point for my
Solid Tech 'FoS' , that could then have a option to trial with other shapes and Materials, the Isonoe would make the Intended New Method much easier to produce a exchangeable part to experiment with.

As the Base of the Footer is not interfering with the Operation of the Footer, the available option of adding stability Base Pads/Shoes are a welcome option. 

In my view if these are not too expensive they will be worth a Trial.  

Not sure if it was mentioned before, but Townshend pods are excellent, and really easy if you get the seismic platform (which has the pods screwed in) under your turntable. Just make sure to order the correct weight limit pods since they need to compress about galf way to work optimally. Probably one of the most, if not the most expensive option, but IMHO the best. Sound improvement was fantastic. Doesn’t cure foot falls though-might actually create them at those low frequencies.

I was going to trade in my VPI HW MK II for a VPI Classic. HW told me to save myself $4K or $5K and simply upgrade to the HW MK IV. 

so I did. That was ten years ago. 

@unreceivedogma: Now get yourself the VPI SAMA (Stand Alone Motor), and you’ll be set! And if you can find a TNT-3/4 platter (a bottom section of 7/8" aluminum with a plate of cork-covered lead inserted into it’s bottom side, topped with a 5/8" layer of Delrin. The Aries 1 was fitted with the same platter.)---with dedicated bearing, that will give you a slight increase in sound quality over the HW-19 Mk.4 platter. Some like the TNT-5 platter (a bottom section of 5/8" stainless steel---no lead insert, topped with a 7/8" layer of Delrin) even more.

@bdp24 I have the SAM and … ‘a’, I presume ‘the’ … 3/4 platter. I was under the impression that those features is what converted the II into a IV.
