"Townshend Rock 7 turntable has a unique suspension system that effectively isolates the turntable from outside disturbances, but its most noteworthy feature is the amazing "trough", filled with damping fluid, that the tonearm headshell floats in. Damping provided by the trough smooths the bass response and controls other resonances in the cartridge/tonearm system that muddy the sound."
