I think the issue is, really effective against what? For example, a Linn, although spring-mounted, is terrible with footfalls, while a Basis, also spring mounted, is much better. There are many theories as to how to design a tt. Some say that spring-mounted tables are always in a state of oscillation and that a heavy plinth is the way to go. So the short answer is - I don't think you can generalize about these things. Each table has to be judged for its own merits and you shouldn't be shopping for a tt based on whether it is suspended or not. There are just too many factors that contribute to the sound.
Suspensions on turntable...really effective?
Been wondering about this, so did some research, but was surprised I couldn't find any that categorically says that turntable suspensions really isolate/substantially reduce outside vibrations, resonances, etc.
Any reference out there you can point out?
Cheers
