Dang!!! That's impressive. I can do the suspension dance on my double platter, spring mod'd TD-125 without
skipping but the suspension stroke isn't as wide as on the SOTA
so stressing it as shown here would make the deck bump against the stoppers and that's the end of it.
But the pounding... Geez! I would have never believed it unless I saw it here with my own eyes. Amazing isolation!!!
Are you sure you're not 'cheating' with some 50's era like VTF for this video???

VTF is set at 1.7 grams.
The feet are rubber and are the bump stops that are on threaded rod that go though the sub chassis and support the plinth.
Wow wow wow!,now that's some great isolation! That's a table that all good tables isolation should be measured by imo.
I can't say I have ever tried that with my suspended tables, or my other tables for that matter. It does look impressive . Some of my tables have servo controlled arms so they track very good, like the Sony Bio Tracers, as far as suspended tables I only have a few, some old Empires, and a Yamaha a PF1000. I doubt they take that beating, but I have solid concrete floors underneath my ceramic tile so you can jump all you want, won't make a difference.
LOL they where, in fact they used to have test for isolation, and the Sapphires would beat every table and the test machine by going past it's capacity of testing.

Somebody did this in front of me with one of these about 5 or 6 years ago. I can assure you this is possible even with real-world vtf.
That's outstanding! call me impressed, I wish all tables were like that it would make life so much easier than having to do so much to isolate most tables the way we have to today.LOL they where, in fact they used to have test for isolation, and the Sapphires would beat every table and the test machine by going past it's capacity of testing.
But SOTA still makes this table today and this is around their mid tier deck with this suspension.
I've seen them before, not in person, I guess I was asleep and this table crept by me because I really didn't know about how good that isolation is, I'm genuinely impressed with that.
Well the fact that you can walk around that table and not tip toe like most tables says alot. I've gotten used to being careful around mine but it sure would be nice if I didn't have to think about it.
