higher mass will lower the Q of of the resonant system
- for those allergic to Google, that means any resonance near a certain freq. will be lower in amplitude and more spread out than a higher Q for both higher & lower freq.
it isn't really that it harder to get to resonate
higher mass is just one of a number of engineering design factors that can be used to deal with resonances - there is no way one could take a number of xlnt turntables and weigh them to rank their SQ
BEST THING: put the turntable (and it's pre-preamp) in a different room or area that is acoustically isolated from the listening room
