Tonearm mount to the plinth vs arm board vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower


Hello,

I am rebuilding a Garrard 301 and looking for a plinth. I am planning to buy 3-4 tonearms to try. I would like to know which is the best way moving forward.

Is there a difference between mounting a tonearm directly on a solid plinth vs arm board (same vs different materials) vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower. 

Thanks
Nanda

Dear ct, my first dispute in this forum was with Lew and regarding
Lenco platter. I was sceptical about possibilty to make a better one
in someone's garage or cellar. But my point was ''don't mess with
your TT''. His answer was : ''Nandric messing  with TT's is fun''. 
I was ''speechless'' . 
^^^^
It's very easy to mess with a used turntable that cost a couple hundred dollars to acquire.
@terry9; "offend" is not the appropriate word choice here. . 
I simply felt your post was a bit strong and worthy of comment. 
I will never challenge someone's love of their own table no matter how humble it might be. 
But when someone claims that their deck is perfect, my ears perk up. 
You took pains to claim that with the help of three people you had achieved perfection. 
Halcro by the way obviously has far more experience than I do and I have a feeling you quoted him out of context. 
I don't claim to have superior knowledge to anyone here. 
In fact, I know that I have less than many. 
But I do have some opinions that are only worth your 2 sense if you happen to agree with me and I don't mind those that disagree as long as the basis for the disagreement is rational. 
This is a topic that particularly interests me and I have some first-hand experience with it. 

@fsonicsmith , No. I did not say that my TT was perfect. Goodbye, Mr. Smith.
I came across Triangleart TT and was impressed by the design and looks.
has completely separate armpods..
it’s a belt drive

What do you all think about the Osiris tonearm? Suspended by a magnet. That great concept..
