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.

I think the difference you heard was due to different of setup, cartridge mount, VTF or literally zillion other reasons why one presentation from a playback might be different from another one or why the different TTs even in the same playback might sound differently. You, and David in his Air Force One posts, attributed to a better TT better presentation and " soundstage depth, in a real image from the performance between the speakers, much better resolution in all frequencies". I do feel that when you look at very good TT and very bad TT than what you say might be accurate. However, what you are talking about two more or less goof TT. at least with TT of the same topology and competitive "size" then you shall not have any soundstage difference or much better resolution in all frequencies of all the rest conditions are equal. In my mind the only different in those TT would be in lower bass, if the playback is able to handle it. It would not be even more or less bass only but the character of lower bass...
