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

Huh? What the ding dong? 😳 When I use the word isolation I’m referring to the only real kind of isolation. If you’re still unsure what I mean let’s see a show of hands. 
Have you guys ever seen Halcro’s photos of the interior of his Halcro preamplifier? Something like that in black.
Geoffkat, I have oil + spike isolation in my Kuzma and pneumatic
feet isolation  under my Technics SP 10 with Obsidian plinth. In addition to mentioned  Kuzma isolation I have sand filled  base plate which is isolated with 3 spikes from the rack. Which one would you
call ''real'' ? 
^^^^
The oil is real
The spikes are real.
The pneumatic feet are real.
The sand filled base plate is real.

The end objective result for all of this paraphernalia.....is fake,
an illusion, not real, and it is limited only by ones imagination.

For this reason, anyone that holds "rigid" to certain principles in this Illusion of a hobby, lives, IMO, inside a box, with defined borders.  


If you don’t know the answer just say you don’t know. Saves a lot of grief later on. 😫
