Suspended vs. non suspended turntable


Hello all,

I am ready to begin my foray into the world of vinyl (again). Looking at the turntables out there, it seems as if there are two types - those with suspension, and those without. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

I have had both and could'nt agree more, "it ain't what you do, but the way that you do it", it's all in the implimentation. I am not sure I agree about isolation and non suspended decks, they seem to be the norm with many new tables recently. In high end examples, isolation seems to be by virtue of sheer mass, some of them are very heavy indeed. That becomes important,when you consider how wall shelves have been the traditional route of isolation for tables. I am changing from an Origin Live Resolution to TW Acustics Raven one. I am hoping it won't fall off the wall as the more expensive Raven AC, certainly would.
