Only ones I ever heard that really made a difference were magnetic suspension , And I 've owned four Thorens and a Linn LP-12."

Any suggestions? Clearaudio Magix?

Thanks for the responses, all. 

What I'm looking for is some white paper or really comprehensive post or thread discussing the merits (and demerits) of suspensions on turntables. 

Primarily, I'm wondering how spring suspensions could isolate from vibrations when the spring itself is still connected from one end to the other end? Re magnets, when the magnet moves, so does what's on top of it?

Sorry for the newbie question, but just wanna make sure I get it right...resonant frequency is the frequency that passes thru the whole suspension and gets transferred to or received/absorbed by the plinth, platter or whatever is above the suspension?

So, frequencies other than that resonant frequency gets isolated/inhibited/blocked?

Or only frequencies above the resonant frequency gets blocked?

Thank you, geoffkait. 

Hate to put these tables on the spot, but these 2 are reasonably priced (for me)...anybody have an opinion on Michell GyroDec and SOTA Satellite's suspensions? 

Is there any TURNTABLE out there where I wouldn't be able to hear the unintended taps, touches and bumps on the rack and sound/vibrations from my subwoofer?

Cheapest you can recommend please?

GeoffKait, could you please explain how the Super Stiff Springs can effectively prevent taps, bumps and vibrations from subwoofer?

Its resinant frequency is low enough, 0.5hz?

Geoff, if I isolate the turntable itself, do I need to isolate the subwoofer?
