My EMT930 has a moderate platter. 3kg I guess.
I guess the only isolation of the idler/motor vs. platter is the
idler's rubber (and to small extent motor's rubber suspension too).
It's quality is crucial and it has to be changed from time to time.
EMT prohibits touching the idler with bare hands,
not to leave even smallest traces of grease.
Not being an advertiser of any topology, may I point that broadcasters got rid
of idlers for DDs most probably  for the convenience
of an instantenous start. EMT930 starts from zero in 1s, EMT950 in 0.2s...
