I will get a weight on my sub and i am gonna try your setup on my classic ..

Just in case it’s not obvious the bottom of the TT would need to be perfectly flat and uniform to be able to accommodate the springs. Otherwise, as the other dude observed, you will need a board between the TT and the springs. One more thing, it’s probably best to remove the feet from the turntable if you use a board between the TT and the springs since it’s not a good idea to have two springy systems in series. If it were me I'd interface the TT to the board with cones, say DH Cones.

cheers

As opposed to leaving the original feet to platform then your springs ? I think the springs would also be interesting under my sub . Again will the carpet and padding pose a problem for the springs?  My sub is 38lbs

Ht thanks for your input .. I asked the question and started this discussion of which many people voiced there opinions . I am a musician of over 30 yrs and been into audio gear for longer . I'm a big boy and have made my share of mistakes with snake oil . I have personnally heard changes using different tweeks ie cables iso ac lines etc . So i do not agree with your opinion nor that of many others here at times .You have spoken your point and beliefs thank you for your insight . There is no need really for anymore bashing. You can start your own forum for that if you wish ..
