Turntable set up HELP

Turntable on a $5k budget?
Everything I've read so far leads me to believe that suspended tables are more forgiving of vibrations in the room. Is that not so? Like I said, my floor is not a concrete slab. Now I am confused.It all depends on the design solution for each appr...
