Springs under turntable


I picked up a set of springs for $35 on Amazon. I intended to use them under a preamp but one thing led to another and I tried them under the turntable. Now, this is no mean feat. It’s a Garrard 401 in a 60pound 50mm slate plinth. The spring device is interesting. It’s sold under the Nobsound brand and is made up of two 45mm wide solid billets of aluminum endcaps with recesses to fit up to seven small springs. It’s very well made. You can add or remove springs depending on the weight distribution. I had to do this with a level and it only took a few minutes. They look good. I did not fit them for floor isolation as I have concrete. I played a few tracks before fitting, and played the same tracks after fitting. Improvement in bass definition, speed, air, inner detail, more space around instruments, nicer timbre and color. Pleasant surprise for little money.

About 7 years ago I replaced the 4 springs under my modified VPI TNT with 4 handballs.  It was a solution that VPI had used on its last TNT version.  Great improvement.  If I could not integrate them into the TT, as was possible with the TNT, I would build a platform with them them a la Ginko.

Only small issue is that they need replacing about every 4-5 years.  
If the Nobsound springs do not work out under my 401 I will try them under my Spatial OB speakers.
One reason I ordered two sets... Options.
The nobsound makes no negative audible effects under my speakers... But adjustment is all the job and the most important...

I think around 45- 50% of compression with an adjustment by ears with 4 or 5 pounds of varying weight or around 4 % of precision near the optimal compression will do the job....It is more refine adjustment and more easier to me to put load on the speakers than removing some springs....And i prefer my speakers damped anyway...
Try balancing a slab on top of a Spatial OB speaker.....😂😂
About a 3" wide piece of frame that holds the drivers in place is it.
But the outrigger legs do allow for 4 springs under each one so that is a possibility.
I’ve been bringing this up for six months now. I have the springs from Amazon for about six months and they do a fine job On my Moab speakers.Another product I found which does an amazing job are these mag-lev feet that I have under my subs. I don’t have them underneath any components and I don’t have a turntable but they probably would do an excellent job there as well. Check these out!
