There is a fusion in contemporary turntables: to make platters and tonearm bases separated. I am not an expert but in my ignorant common sense I do not think I like it. For instants take a look at a German table:

...it has a tonearm base that is absolutely disconnected from the TT. Furthermore it is not hard bolted to foundation but sitting on some kind decoupling spikes. Well, I presume that it is strong enough to maintain the tonearm geometry stable but still: if the TT system experiences some kind ULF impact then platter and tonearm base will response to it differently. I do not like it.
