Suspensions on turntable...really effective?


Been wondering about this, so did some research, but was surprised I couldn't find any that categorically says that turntable suspensions really isolate/substantially reduce outside vibrations, resonances, etc.

Any reference out there you can point out?

I've used SOTA turntables (Sapphire Deluxe, then Cosmos IV) and have seen how they really isolated the playing from footfalls, etc. in a "medium" bouncy wooden floor setting.  I now have my Cosmos sitting on a Herzan active vibration cancelling base (yes, the type used to isolate scanning electron microscopes), and it just transforms the table into a much more neutral device and improves the detail retrieval.  The Minus K product mentioned above is also excellent for this.
