>>A seperate armboard mounted onto (or next to) the main body of a turntable should provide a disruption in the flow of vibrations.<<
Take a stethoscope (I've done this a xhundred times) to a turntable in which you can hear either bearing or motor noise (or most likely, both). You will hear that noise reproduced in identical fashion, either placing the steth at the arm-board or at the chassis it's mounted too.
Since this form of noise (bearing/motor) is consistent when revolution/playing, it can NEVER-EVER be disrupted (it must be eliminated at the source, the motor and/or bearing). It will, in fact, remain a constant form of noise throughout the 'table, in which it will certainly damage musical retrieval.
As I stated, in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM should an armboard be responsible for isolating vibration from internal mechanical devices.
What an armboard should do ... is QUICKLY deal (no ringing) with the mechanical energy that the stylus imparts into the arm. This "energy" needs to be dissipated, not isolated, in very quick fashion, or it too will effect musical delivery.
