They are solid cast bronze and each one weighs 25lbs without arm and sits on 3 brass spikes. One can change cartridges, adjust VTA and VTF and even yank on each arm and the pods are going nowhere :^)

  all have to resonate at the same frequency.
  
  I have seen this design many times and it seems a better way to go for tonearm isolation from any motor or platter bearing noise.

    If the platter is vibrating and the arm pod is rock solid, then we have movement of the LP groove in relation to the stylus tip, and that is not a good thing. So, best to use an outboard pod with a well-secured, well isolated, and mechanially damped turntable.
