>>Virtually any table with a platter that sits on the motor is going to be a weak point. The motor vibration gets transferred to the stylus.<<
Not "any" DD table, some of the better DD's sound quite transparent. And this isn't just a problem with DD, if the belt driven motor vibrates, unless that noise is isolated (very difficult) it will be transferred to the platter/stylus.
The fact is, early Rega's had very noisy motors, and the cheap "rubber" band isolation didn't help much to isolate it from the stylus. A shame, considering the main bearing was well designed.
