I think the "sea" analogy is a good one, and yes, the needle won't jump from what I've experienced with a similar setup to those orange things. but I could never get used to feeling like the deck was all wibbly wobbly. it kinda freaked me out. lol! I guess whatever it takes to stop vibration and/or feedback is a good thing.
