Mine is not separate but is largely decoupled from the plinth by the use of a Pete Wriggle VTA adjustor. Arm is held on table by its own weight and not bolted on. See the Wriggle web site for pictures and more info. Seems to work well.
Nude TT / Armpod question
Have done reading on here lately about the benefits
of separating the armpod completely from the platter
plinth.
This seems good in isolating motor vibrations from the
arm/cart assembly, if that is the design purpose.
I may have missed this in reading all the posts, but
with a separate armpod structure, how do you maintain
the strict distance relationship between the arm pivot
and the spindle center ? The armpod can now move
(semi-)freely.
