Well, there are different Models from Rockport out there .... and I also listened to the latest version Sirius III. Based on the technical specs (heavy 30 kg platter, air bearing horizontal, vertical) I thought it must be super sonically. But when I listened to it, it was really average. And the Seiki 8000 was superior in Bass, Soundstage depth, in a real image from the performance between the speakers, much better resolution in all frequencies...simply much more lifelike.
Why? I don't know. The result was disappointing for me and for the owner. I kept my mouth shut, he heard it anyway. He thought he has the arrow tip of sonic reproduction ... anyway, he sold it and for me it is done, too.

Ah, Mike L's old deck which then went to a guy in Texas. I know the person who eventually bought it & yes there was a lot wrong with it both with the arm, the motor mounting & the power supply. It took quite a lot of work to put it right. I guess that is a problem with these things, they require a certain level of understanding & experience to be used properly & to reach their potential. I suspect that if you were to hear one working properly you might change your opinion. 
You might also want to choose a different cartridge Wink
