Hi Jfrech, good to read you rectified your issue, what you described would be most anoying specially with the caliber of gear you have.

I got a Minus K specifically for my TW AC3 table for isolation and it's incredible, some food for thought for down the road. I placed my 1621a Transport which is very heavey on it's own and was placed on a HRS platform, placing this on this Minus K is the best my REDBOOK has ever sounded too, darn it because now I need to buy another one.

I have been looking at different stands for a few years now and have come to a conclusion that almost every stand out there the gear placed within still benifits from further isolation of some sort so you might want to get one for your table, you would most likely be able to just get a standard one.
