I’m not saying that there can’t be any benefit to vibration suppression, however, I am not sure how tightly this is coupled to the listener jury’s opinion.
Sony and some other companies had higher-end products and when Sony was making their Esprit line, just about everything had a heavy plastic compound in the base to dampen vibrations. Some companies had a granite or marble slab that was used to add weight to the stand, to do the same. Seems that some are trying the opposite- "if it's light enough, maybe the sound will blow right by".
