Oscar,
I use to give Hector the business on using the black platter. We always thought it was too much and robbed the table of life. Perhaps it was a synergy thing between systems, but in any system I heard it the original firebaugh acrylic was always preferred. I didn't like what Transparent did to it.
I'm using an early version of the Amadeus with 3 feet and isolation platter.
If buying today I'd probably spring for the GTA as well, it does look snazzier. I love all your cartridge picks. Guess it depends on wallet and rest of system.
Oh, and Lonnie Smith will be playing at Jazz at the Bistro in St Louis.
Take care!
