Pops for an entry level table it sounds darn good. The only problem is there is a little rumble when I put the cart to the album, but once the music starts I hear nothing but lovely music. I can jump up and down on the floor and nothing. Its a great tweak. The platform is porcelain. Now it don't sound as good as MrP's table...His table seemed to remove more of the noise and had a blacker background to the music, but for a entry level table, mine sounds really good. .
