Steve,I used to sell high quality precision scales to labs and often times these labs are in multiple story buildings with lots of vibration going on.
Strapping a scale to a 350 lb marble base would really help lock in a great deal more accuracy.
Since a diamond tracing the groove wall is basically measuring the groove in a similar way that a scale would measure weight it seems intuitive that a high mass base with a non-suspended turntable would trace the groove more accurately.
Interestingly, in my experience the weight needs to be in the base and not in the plinth. I have found too much plinth mass to constrain the sound and deaden the PRAT.
Of course every vintage turntable requires its own receipe to sound best. Synergy comes from system matching and attention to detail.
I am a high mass base advocate. Others seem to prefer a solid but light mass wall mount. I think there are reasons to say both approaches are not only valid, but simply the best way to deal with the building you are dealing with.
You can take either approach and still end up with some awesome sound.
How is your 124 project sounding?
