I have been using a Arcam 23T for years it needs to be isolated with feet on the bottom and a book on the top, it sounds good.

The problem with the old arcams is the tray starts sticking on them, then breaks. Depends really how much you want to spend. Personally i would not buy a Phillips mech but thats my opinion. I don't think any are rubbish.

The sticking tray is easy to fix. Actually it’s not the tray sticking it’s the square section drive belt that slips. It’s easy to replace, a fifteen minute job.
