I have owned a number of sprung and massive tables over the last fifty years, including a VPI Aries, AR, and Linn LP12 (contemporary, near the top of the line).
Typically sprung tables tend to “sound livelier” is the characterization. I feel that is correct. Massive tables sound more… sorry, solid (as in solid bass). There are tables of both philosophies in most price categories and as you rise in price they converge on much better sound and less as to belonging to either camp (lively / solid).
So, since there are so many tables and price ranges, observations can drive one crazy as to which is better or just different. especially since they are set up in your particular venue and they are susceptible to vibration from your system playing and environment.
Anyway, characterizations of “the sound” of a general disingenuous disappears with better and better implementations.
