    Finally got some Isonoes and some sorbethane boots for my SL-1210, and I've been playing records in preference to anything else for the last couple of days.

    I'm well chuffed

    Nice one Chris... I went for the VA feet coz the Isonoe's meant flushing out even more moths from my wallet

    Everything hangs together as a more coherent whole.

    I'm able to more easily pick up on subtle rhythmical interplay too - I've got Frank Zappa's "Studio Tan" on at the moment, something I'm very familiar with, and it's totally captivating.
    Music for guitar & low budget orchestra is coming across superbly.

    The only downside to VA feet is that you lose the ability to level the deck...

    The Issones are better than stock feet for sure and just look great too on the Techie
