Greetings.I am new to this forum, although I have been an analogue guy for four decades, my first deck was a Thorens 150, my current unit an SME 30\12. Both suspended decks, with isolation a key feature.In recent years there have been a lot of expensive decks with no real attention to suspension at all.I read attempts to justify this on grounds such as speed stability. But is not a proper suspension a necessary condition for a genuine high end deck? And is not the main reason for a lack of quality suspension the fact that it is cheaper and easier not to bother? Or am I just an old cynic?
