Absolutes are never absolute, simply conveniences.  Hi-end is subject to brainwashing and group think the same as any other facet of culture, big or small. As example, it is true that metal platters ring, but a good engineer designs a TT to channel the ring to the feet, and not smear the sound.  Good quality perspex does not magically make a clear sounding TT, the whole thing has to be designed to work with the platter of choice. there are good sounding TT with both materials; no absolutes. Check everything for yourself--surprises abound. In this case, I would agree you have de-coupled resonance. Good luck and have fun!!!
