blueranger, you touched on an area of controversy. There are two camps, high mass and low mass. Linnies inhabit the latter. Low mass usually goes with spring or other suspensions. High mass usually goes with no suspension. "Better" is whatever choice you prefer.
Just an observation here, but????????
Is it me or has anyone else noticed the change in turntables designs from with sub chassis to without? Is there any manufacturing or acoustical reasoning behind this?
