I must say I am more impressed with his culinary adventures than mutilating a Sondek.

Me too.
What the guy doing the plinthless mod doesn't appear to understand is the the LP 12 plinth is not just a box to hide the internal mechanics from sight. It has a function which is to act as a sink for the excess mechanical energy ( excess = that not converted into electricity by the cartridge motor) that is generated during playing a record.
In fact the material that the plinth is made from affects its ability in this area and those Linnies that have compared 'tables with different plinth materials will have found that they sound different to one another. Unfortunately some of the best looking woods make a less good sounding turntable.

Through the springs?

Good point.I'll concede on that :-)
I have always thought of a hollow TT base as being a big echo chamber for motor noise and outside vibration sources, causing problems rather than solving them.
That's just how my mind works. I could be wrong.

Yes, I have sympathy for that view. Take a matchbox, empty out the matches, place the box against your ear and lighly brush it with your finger. What a lot of noise that causes. Perhaps it serves as a simile for what goes on in a box type plinth.
draining mechanical vibrations out of the turntable? This is why footer and the support also matters equally. And extreme attention is paid to the top plate fit to the plinth. Very difficult or almost impossible to eliminate vibrations but what they are doing is to create the path for it to pass it through quickly without storing it or moving back to the turntable.
Having to experiment with various plinths, I was rather surprised there is a drastic I mean a H-U-G-E difference amongst them. I think that it's counter to neutral crazy audiophiles, but some of them give a nice colours ( like classic Afromosia gives that distinctive Sondek flavours ).
