richer tone from top to bottom, especially in the lower mids and bass
Also due to the added height of the dollys the sweet spot was too high, now where it was intended
Nobsound springs - load range
I just got a set of the Nobsound springs and there’s no instructions at all. So I have two questions. First, my Hegel weighs about 44 pounds. Is 4 springs enough or should I use 5? And the second is, should I put them under the Hegel’s feet or next to them? I’ve read most of this thread and the answers to the first question varied a lot and the pictures I saw had people doing both. Thanks in advance. |
I use Nobsound springs under the existing feet. But, only way to be sure on your system is to try. Four Nobsprings are plenty for 40 pounds. I would remove enough springs for them to compress about half way when loaded.
If I chose to use a cutting board, it would be under the springs and separated from the shelf by vibripods or other elastomer disks. This gives another layer of isolation. I am doing something like this using a Black Diamond Racing platform and springs on top and vibrapods under. I would not couple all the springs together… and most components are heavier in back. Best to tune the springs to each location. |
@curiousjim Hi Jim. Put them under the component not under the feet. I tried it once and didn’t like it. But I use tubes. However, @ghdprentice found that it worked. Use the necessary number of springs for each of the 3 points under the component so that the component is level after the set up. Obviously, use 4 under speakers. I can’t state it clearly enough - try difference configurations by listening. e.g. try it at 20% and 50% compression, under feet or chassis, 3 vs 4 etc. |
