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

Hey, lewm - Blow it out your bagpipes, dude! See if anyone listens to that.

It’s bad enough we have to contend with the forces of the seism, now we have to contend with the forces of evil.  🦹‍♀️

I agree with clearthink's clear thinking. And just because Geoff sport's a Kilt, we should not make fun of that, either. But come on ..... along with pumps and stockings????
