...its massive, resonant "petrified cream of wheat" plinth. These things were very poorly designed, with plenty of resonating hollow cavities and a ringing marble-like cast material that made the TT sound lumpy, inconsistent, and lackluster.>>>"Suspending a table does not require any specific material composition. It is just a way to isolate foot falls for example."
You're just making this crap up as you go along, as usual. Material selection is of paramount importance, suspended or no. A well-designed suspension isolates the 'table from its motor and its support. More importantly, it allows a knowledgeable designer to utilize light, rigid materials, rather than relying on crude, PRaT-killing, energy-storing mass to "isolate" the TT from its environment.
To answer the original question, massive supports and suspended TTs are a poor match. Try a light, rigid Neuance or Mana shelf, or a cheap Ikea Lack. Stone and thick wood under a suspended TT sounds comparatively dull, warm, slow, and bloated.
