[QUOTE="LIVESOUND, post: 1151382, member: 778"] There are multiple sources of vibration that affect turntables, some being external such as from speakers, platter bearing, motor, footfalls etc. The effects of these were universally accepted and solutions were applied almost from inception. I should have elucidated that the form of resonance that elicited disagreement in the past, related to that which is generated by the cartridge tracking the groove and results in equal and opposite forces being applied to the record and cartridge/arm. It appears to me that solving resonance generated at the record/stylus/cartridge/arm interfaces has been one of the main objectives in newer high end turntable manufacturers. I agree that many buyers make decisions based on subjective opinions rather than sound quality aspects. The former are more obvious and much easier to evaluate than the latter, especially when sound quality differences are minute. They say that variety is the spice of life. Just as well that there are billions of different eyes and ears to make billions of different purchasing decisions to keep the excitement levels up. [/QUOTE]
