Re: How much does one of those drive units move ....

That, of course, is the big question.

The less movement you have, the better condition your motor and drive-train components are in, so the less vibration to get rid of.....
But.

If you are asking is the 301 mounted solidly to the plinth, the answer is yes, and generally no compliance between the two is wanted. The whole Garrard 301 renaissance is based on direct-coupling the chassis to a massive, layered plinth that can solidly "sink" vibrations without reflecting them back toward the transducer.

If you are asking is the motor mounted solidly to the 301 chassis, the answer is that it's suspended by a six-point suspension which is meant to absorb the audio-band vibration before it transfers outwardly.

So any vibration that isn't absorbed by the motor suspension is ---hopefully --- rigidly coupled to the plinth and transferred / absorbed from there.

Sounds more neanderthal on paper than it ends up ... sounding.
