Springs under turntable


I picked up a set of springs for $35 on Amazon. I intended to use them under a preamp but one thing led to another and I tried them under the turntable. Now, this is no mean feat. It’s a Garrard 401 in a 60pound 50mm slate plinth. The spring device is interesting. It’s sold under the Nobsound brand and is made up of two 45mm wide solid billets of aluminum endcaps with recesses to fit up to seven small springs. It’s very well made. You can add or remove springs depending on the weight distribution. I had to do this with a level and it only took a few minutes. They look good. I did not fit them for floor isolation as I have concrete. I played a few tracks before fitting, and played the same tracks after fitting. Improvement in bass definition, speed, air, inner detail, more space around instruments, nicer timbre and color. Pleasant surprise for little money.

lewm, Its okay. I’ve known for quite some time now there are people its just not worth trying to explain anything to. As others have lectured me, its not your forum, you don’t get to tell anyone what to do. On the other foot, the shoe, eh?
Thanks for starting a timely discussion. I put the nobsound springs in my shopping cart last weekend because they looked interesting. I was going to look for reviews, opinions online before pulling the trigger. If there are any left, I'll have to try a few sets!
@mwinkc Try them and report back. I noted one respondent said they heard no difference with the springs under the turntable in their modest system. I wonder is it only noticeable on more resolving systems? I've two more sets coming tomorrow which will allow me to test them under my monoblocks and second turntable. It's going to be a long weekend.
rixthetrick, and on what science to you base this rather floral opinion on?
