Stasis: a period or state of inactivity or equilibrium.
Something a spring can never achieve. Tom. Star Sound

tom, no offense intended and I hate to judge before all the facts are in but apparently you have not grasped the whole mass on spring concept. The idea of mass on spring isolation is to *stop* the component from vibrating. Hel-loo! I honestly cannot tell if you're being deliberately dense or if that's just natural. No offense intended.

have a nice day

Hi Geoff,

"Understood, but wouldn’t a few different models with differing spring rates be sufficient to handle the majority of gear?"

Was it yesterday I said spring rate had to be matched to the load? I have different springs for different loads, from 1 lb to 300 lb. 

"Would the rotational feature within the base be beneficial?"

Probably not.

"The height adjustment would simply function to level the gear?"

Springs are self leveling. If you can't move the springs manually move the component. It's not rocket science.

Geoff you are offensive. You called me a monkey and dense.

As I stated a spring is never in a static state even when loaded. Your example of saying a spring is self leveling proves they can never reach the level of stasis. Springs will rotate when in motion as they have poor rotational rigidity. Tom
