well out here in portland, OR clubs make a regular pratice of suspending turntables.....i have played on MANY suspended setups...alothought i prefer the ol cinderblock setup from the ol days when parties were in warhouses.....in my opinion suspended tables work ok if it is really done right ...there are so many ways to suspend them,it just has to be done in an intelligent way....i mean i have seen people do it and it is just a mess...but i have played on like 3 really good setups that were just as fine as a regular setup or on cinderblocks....you always have to watch your touch so if you like to thrash around and stuff then i would'nt recommend it....but its always kinda funny to watch someone like TRAXX get crazy with a suspended setup and tonearms go flying around, slider caps are falling everywhere......i personally like a solid setup of some sort cause ultimatly you feel grounded....but if you have a small club or something sometimes suspended table can work alright.....
