Congrats Lo-Fi!!! I haven't heard the AT table, but I've Had my eye on it for awhile as a very strong value, especially for those who wish to play 78s without restoring an old table or spending a fortune. Many satified buyers.

A heavy rubber mat is a must when using a direct drive as a home hi-fi table. I have a couple extras from old tables that are about the same size and weight as my Technics SL-1200 MKII mat. I'd be happy to send you one if you send your address in a private message or e-mail royphil345@yahoo.com
