Here are a few pics of my TT set-up. I Think I have squeezed as much as I can out of my old VPI HMW MK IV. I have the TNT platter and bearing; SAMA motor; Synchronous Drive system, TT Weights Outer Ring, center clamp, and Sound Points; JMW 10 tonearm, Ortofon Windfeld cartridge:
Those are two slabs of marble cutting boards with a sheet of sorbothane in-between. This turntable played through an aftershock of the Northridge Earthquake without a skip, back when I lived in Reseda CA!
Sonic Frontiers SFP-1 SE Phono stage with modifications:
At this year's THE Show at Las Vegas, we used this set-up. Dr. Chris Feikert came by and used his computer program and alignment tool to precisely align my cartridge.
