You are assuming a great many things Fretless....

And then you discount the Kenwood which actually incorporates actual science to capture and control resonance within its honey-cone matrix below the turntable. They mixed proprietary blends of resin and stone to attenuate specific frequency ranges. They selected specific grades and thickness of plywood to control high frequencies. The ringing of the platter is controlled by the specific rubber mat they selected.

The whole thing sounds awesome with the right tonearm and cartridge and easily beats many expensive turntables.

Actually the choice of a plinth material has nothing to do with whether that material can be suspended or not. You can suspend popsicle sticks if you care to take the time or trouble. Suspension is accomplished to eliminate accoustic feedback from the pick up. Some designers use springy suspensions (SOTA), some taut suspensions (THORENS), some silicone dampened suspensions (BASIS) and others with combinations of springs, silicone, foam or other more exotic materials.

Just what would make any plinth material unsuitable for suspension? Moreover what suspension technology exists that precludes any material from being properly suspended?

Fretless you are spooning out drivel. It is designers choice.

So go ahead and add to the conversation but please list your personal opinions as such. I do not care if you want to attack me for whatever reasons you feel necessary, I just wish you would take some time to actually conduct some sort of professional discourse on an important topic.

By the way HP once wrote that a Kenwood Trio which incorporated that concrete resin base was the best sounding turntable he had ever heard. So do I trust you or do I trust HP?

I think HP earned his seat at the table.
