Walking, running or jumping by it, no issues with mine! I’ve never had it on anything other than concrete so wont comment further here.
My table is approaching near full spec Klimax level, it needs Keel base and Ekos 2 SE to get to full. (I have Kore base now on Trampolin suspended aluminum base footing and Ekos 1 tonearm running a Lyra Delos) it was upgraded to the Radikal Power Supply a couple years ago (huge performance boost) and added the Booplinth shortly afterwards that I attest fully is a stunning performance improvement! Before all this I was a happy camper at Akurate level. As I could afford to upgrade I have done so and regret nothing. Love my table and the tunes it gives me! I may not blow anybody else out of the water but I also get serious respect from other audiophiles when they listen to it.

My comment is based on a full bore Linn at a demonstration of the Magnapan 30.7. The Linn cue on Linn's top arm was so touchy even the demonstrator muted the output as he cued it. It was very touchy and unusable real time. He swore it was setup properly. It sounded wonderful with Linn's top cartridge, but my modded TD125MkII was no cue issues, and sounds very good!
