Emotions have no place in engineering

No, non-suspended tables simply do not absorb any vibrations; they allow all frequencies to propagate unimpeded to the cartridge.

Not necessarily -- whether it does or not depends on the floor construction.

> Walls however don't move up and down.

They most certainly do. The entire earth beneath the house moves up and down -- how do you then prevent the wall from doing the same?

> The difference is startling.

That's true only if you have a very bouncy floor; in that case yes, a wall mount is the best solution.

> What do you recommend?

Ideally, a house built on a thick slab, as far away from civilisation as possible, and a suspended table bolted directly to the slab.

On a more practical note, a floor as rigid as possible, and a suspended table sitting directly on the floor.
