Suspended vss Stationary by design


Can someone explain why suspended table sounds more relaxed, almost like it sounds slower, than a fixed stationary table?

I've been listening to both side by side, and my ears tell me the difference is REAL. The stationary sounds fast and nimble like an Acura NSX, while the suspended is so relaxing like being on the inside of a Lexus LS460. Another way of putting it; its like the difference between SS and Tube.

All this leads me to believe that the TYPE of music just may sound better on one and not the other.

I actually meant my Non Suspended turntable be both relaxed and fast and neutral.

Resonances in certain frequency ranges, speed dynamics. Just to name a few possibilities. Finding and countering these can be a long process of trial and error. But that is part of what continuously draws me to vinyl.
