But to address your point, there
is more going on in the mechanics of a turntable than
just isolation. If the table needs compliant mounting to
avoid feedback, then thats fine use it. However if the
support is sufficiently isolated to avoid that, then
there can be advantages to increasing the effective mass
of the turntable by solid coupling, as this can reduce
the effect of motor induced vibration.

Here's a skill-testing question for you, Nick.

What are good ways to figure out which problem is most important to a given
vinyl rig?
