Default Turntable "suspended in a vacuum" to prevent vibrations?

Suspending something in a vacuum does not, in and of itself "prevent

I worked for about a year for a company that makes chambers, valves, and
pumps for the high vacuum industry and was amazed at the misconceptions
of many within the company concerning high vacuum. The best was the
assembly technician who confused vacuum and gravity and believed that
astronauts floated around as they do because they were in the vacuum of
space!
