Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt

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 ..

thanks . I was under the belief this forum discussion i started would give me some insight on what others are using over the years . Some tweeks are well " too out there for me " but isolating vibration from my turntable is not nor is adding sound deadning in my room or studio or upgrading cables etc to a point . I never understand why some of the " hyper elite" are so judgmental nor the novice are so unwilling to try things and decide for themselves . Perfect example does my tt sound better when it is isolated better . Yes ive proven it . Do my spkr sound better firmly planted .yes ive proven it . Does my digital sound better with a better cable .. Yes ive proven  it . Does my hollowbody gretch sound different then my prs mcarty yes. My tube marshall over a peavy again yes .. Thanks for your input

if the original feet are not springy they can be left on. Two springy things used together interfere w/ each other. Like a car going down the road with two shock absorbers for each wheel connected in series, it would be a very bumpy ride. Same goes for springs on carpet. If it were me I would use spikes capable of piercing the carpet/pad to support a maple board, then place the springs on the board.
