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

And for the record, I never made a statement like that. One way you can tell this is so is that I don't use emojis in any of my posts. Putting up a post like this is oxymoronic; the post is false in every way.


Look, rather than kill the messenger, why not look into the physics involved? Credibility is not gained by never admitting a mistake, its gained by acknowledging the miss-step when real and correcting it.
Dover, So what is your turntable of choice, if you revile both belt- and direct-drive?  As far as I know, that leaves only idler drive, which has its own issues.  All forms of tt drive have positives and negatives.  Execution of the idea determines the differences among turntables and what makes one turntable of one type better or worse than another turntable of the same or different type.  This shouldn't make anyone angry.  Anyway, what do you use currently?
