[QUOTE="croak, post: 75688, member: 361"] This is not very different if at all from many also well regarded turntables. The shaft is in fact a specific "roller" from a large horizontal bearing. (forget the right term for one now) But a very cost effective improvement on many turntables, not just a Rega. These will cost a bit more... I do keep some PTFE thrust pads that work well on many turntables, especially if there is some bearing wear from running dry. Isolating will break the loop between arm and platter or record really (like a felt mat), some may prefer it, but you are trading one set of problems for another. A rigid yet energy dissipating material can offer some of these benefits with less drawback. [/QUOTE]
