Tonearm mount to the plinth vs arm board vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower

Have you guys ever seen Halcro’s photos of the interior of his Halcro preamplifier? Something like that in black.

Geoffkat, I have oil + spike isolation in my Kuzma and pneumatic
feet isolation  under my Technics SP 10 with Obsidian plinth. In addition to mentioned  Kuzma isolation I have sand filled  base plate which is isolated with 3 spikes from the rack. Which one would you
call ''real'' ? 

^^^^
The oil is real
The spikes are real.
The pneumatic feet are real.
The sand filled base plate is real.

The end objective result for all of this paraphernalia.....is fake,
an illusion, not real, and it is limited only by ones imagination.

For this reason, anyone that holds "rigid" to certain principles in this Illusion of a hobby, lives, IMO, inside a box, with defined borders.  

If you don’t know the answer just say you don’t know. Saves a lot of grief later on. 😫

Yes- we donated one of our Atma-Sphere model 208 turntables to the local audiophile society and someone there used a 'paint' like that on it. It was kindof unnecessary, you can walk up to the platter and thwock it with your forefinger tensioned by your thumb and not hear it in the speakers.


You might be able to get good results with a separate arm pod, but you will get better results if the arm mounting isn't separate from the plinth.
