Ok, bad choice of words. When I used "possible," I was thinking that it might depend upon specific setups, or whether or not it was something audible when it happened. I don't think I have the ears to tell, myself. I do know that before the Gingko, I couldn't play records with confidence, or had to tiptoe around to a ridiculous degree out of concern over causing a nasty skip of my tonearm. And it happened often despite my care. Suspended floors aren't a TT's friend.
