we are actually arguing (i prefer debating) the same argument.
>>That is in part why a stainless steel armboard or plinth will have a different sound than one constructed of maple or carbon fiber, and acrylic will sound different still. This is true even in cases where the motor and bearing are extremely quiet.<<
Yes, it will, but IMO this has more to do with the armboard ability to quickly dissipate tonearm induced energy, rather than dissipate motor or bearing noise.
In my travels, I've found that bearing noise is nearly impossible to isolate from the arm/platter. Motor noise can be isolated to degrees, depending on the amount of vibration and the quality of it's mount, and a well tuned suspension will very much isolate a large degree of motor noise. There are ways to do it, but simply placing a noisy motor in an outside mount/pod (which many current tables do) does near nothing, the noise will still migrate towards the stylus.
That said, and we both agree, it's best to eliminate (or minimize) bearing and motor noise at the source. One of the very reasons my turntable sounds as good as it does, is based on the above principles.
It took me years to refine.
