> If the floor is a mover, the walls, even if they move, will be moving less.No, not necessarily. The construction of both surfaces will determine the vibrational modes that each one can sustain, and which one will affect your turntable most cannot be universally determined in advance.
> If the floor is not a mover
There is no such thing in this world.
> On top of that, on a wall mount the table sits on a plith connected to the room by 4 pin point spikes.
> That's about as decoupled as you can get.Spikes are one of the worst interfaces for turntable support; rather than decoupling, they generate vibrations.
> People can check by simply placing a half full glass on the top of their turntable, moving to the center of the room,
> and jumping. If the water is moving (which is most probably will be) their table is not vibration free.If that's the extent of your engineering analytic abilities, then by all means, get a non-suspended table, place it on spikes, rollerballs, mpingo discs, whatever, and enjoy the end result.
Good luck in your quest for better sound.
