I am also surprised @mijostyn that you doubt that a vibration platform would help with your phono stage.
What you don't seem to comprehend is that in addition to external vibrations, there are internal vibrations within components that can be drained with a good sub platform. Regardless of a slab or whatever. In these cases, you can get a multi layer platform instead of springs or podiums or whatever. From what I was told, SS is even more susceptible to this than tubes.
Not so much on a turntable, so I buy the SME lack of need of vibration control. Also, the biggest beneficiary of vibration control is a CD player, even more that turntables for some reason.
Don't ask me, just ask Peter at Symposium Acoustics who has been doing this for 29 years.
