Nobsound springs - load range


I want to try out the Nobsound springs as damping footers (mainly under my mono blocks and my streamer). I ordered a first set of them and now I wonder about the amount of springs to put in for different weights of equipment.I remember one post that said it works best when 50% compressed (was it @millercarbon?).

I measured the compression of the springs, it takes ~2.5 kg per spring to compress it to 50%. Based on 50% compression target, this yields the following sweet spot configurations (only stable ones, total equipment weight):
- 3 units, 3 springs each: 22.5 kg
- 4 units, 3 springs each (or 3 units, 4 springs each): 30 kg - 4 units, 4 springs each: 40 kg
- 3 units, 6 springs each: 45 kg
- 3 units, 7 springs each: 52.5 kg
- 4 units, 6 springs each: 60 kg
- 4 units, 7 springs each: 70 kgLoad can be considerably higher than expected (somewhere I read about 36kg, which is presumably for 4 units).

Any comments?What about ~10 kg streamer, seems to be too light to compress the springs enough? Does anyone have experience with Nobsound springs under light equipment like this?
Based on your experiences: Would you even dare to put an 80kg floor standing speaker on Nobsound springs?

Today I set up the springs with 5 in each and put them under the feet on the Hegel and listened for a few hours. Tomorrow I’ll move them off the feet and give them a few hours.

Oops. My bad. I moved mine from under feet to under the chassis. Sounds better. Not sure what made me initially put them under the feet. I have used, cones, vibrapods, pucks…. Long list and never put them under the feet. 

 

Oh well… senior moment when I did that.
 

 

@ghdprentice  Thanks for confirming.

My speakers (Reference 3A Nefes) are about 160 Lbs. Any ideas on how to increase the weight capacity of the 4 Nobsound Springs so I can use them? At $1,000 for 8, the Gaia I footers are not an option.

Oh, I also thought about using 2 in each speaker corner. Would that do the trick?

Thanks
