Why do turntables sound different?


Let's consider higher-end tables that all sound excellent. Same arm/cartridge and the rest of the chain. Turntable is a seemingly simple device but apparently not quite or not at all.
What do members of the 'scientific community' think?

Would love to hear the differences on the above 3 turntables you liked.  You have direct drive and a heavy platter with 3 motors and lighter platter with 1 papst motor.

I would like to hear about the tone, body, decay, attack, pitch, and separation of instruments.

Thanks Tom

Are you really serious?  Placing everything but the speakers in a different room is ludicrous and extremely impractical.  Actually, I am sorry to have even responded.  Please relocate to planet earth.
