Suspensions on turntable...really effective?

You said, "Gases are compressible, too." I Never said they weren’t. Sheesh! Never said air is not a gas, either.
Furthermore, I said air is a fluid, not a liquid. Hel-looo!
Obviously liquids are not compressible, at least not generally speaking.


google is my friend.

A fluid is any substance in which the molecules are free to flow. This includes both gases and liquids.
A liquid is any substance in which molecules are free to flow, and volume is fixed or nearly fixed. Liquids are a subset of fluids.

Thanks for validating what I said. So getting back to the the air spring device for a second it acts like a spring because air is compressible and the air inside the airspring is under considerable pressure, that pressure a function of the airspring and the load. I used one of my Nimbus platforms under my Very heavy Maplenoll turntable, so with the ballast (100 lb) plus the mass of the Maplenoll the air spring had to be pumped up to 80 lbs of pressure.

On my wooden floored chalet in Tennessee, my suspended Ariston TT sounds best. Here on my South Florida wood covered concrete floor, my chunk of bathroom sink matching fake marble Kenwood sounds fine.

Both have extra motor/platter/tonearm isolation from stock, mostly homemade sponge and foamy stuff O-Rings. 

Is there any TURNTABLE out there where I wouldn't be able to hear the unintended taps, touches and bumps on the rack and sound/vibrations from my subwoofer?

Cheapest you can recommend please?

See if you can find a used Oracle Delphi.

"Every low level signal phono cartridge consists of key components: the stylus, cantilever, MAGNETS, coils and body. What are we going to now GK......you better go tell every cartridge maker about this."

Uh, it’s the size/strength of the magnetic field the mag lev systems produce that’s the issue. And the cartridge is in close proximity to the Verdier magnets, that’s the problem. Hel-loo! I’m not concerned about the Earth’s magnetic field any more than the cartridge magnetic field for that reason. Why do we have demagnetizers for LPs but not for the mag lev magnets?  ;-)
