SRA Isolation Platform under a Turntable

Has anyone used a SRA iso platform under their turntable? I have heard that amps and preamp benefit greatly from the SRA iso bases, but do turntables reap the same benefits, or are the improvements smaller?

I am using the VR 3.0 bases under my preamp and amp. This is one of the best upgrades I have ever done, but the cost to put one under my VPI Aries 2 Extended TT is pretty high, so I would like to get some opinions.

The price I was quoted form Silent Running Audio for my VPI Aires 2 Extended (keep in mind this is a very large TT at 384 sq. inches) was $910 including shipping.

I have a Symposium Super platform and 3 Rollerball Jrs. under my VPI SSM which have made a very worthwhile improvement (especially the Rollerballs!!)

I was planning on going with an SRA stand under my Raven One. Highwater Sound even sells a custom SRA stand just for the Raven One, with appropriate shape conforming to the R1 so an external motor can be used if desired.

I lucked into a Halcyonics active platform, so with any luck I should have that up and running sometime next year. I can't wait to hear what an isolated Raven sounds like - I may never heave home.

I had an extra large SRA VR platform made for my Galibier Gavia (90 lb table) (see my sytem photos)

I also have SRA vr platforms under my amp, pre and cd
they made a great difference and really took the stress out of the components and let them sing

highly recommended
