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.

@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? 
Mahgister, I have decided that there is absolutely no way to explain anything with you. You are an inexplicable force of nature. You are however entitled to do anything you want with your system even if it leaves several of us scratching our heads. You are certainly not alone in this regard. Millercarbon comes in a close second. You guys keep us on our toes:)

The explaining in audio made sense AFTER an experiment....Audio is NOT electronic design only but encompass many fields of science in one game...

Explaining BEFORE an experiment is only most of the times pontificating...

I only want to reach High-End with basic average good elements in a controlled environment.... Is it possible? Yes.....Why ? Audio is more akin to acoustic than to electronics....

My simple concept of the 3 embeddings is my way to describe the conditions we must put in place to reach S.Q.

No sellers will sell you Audiophile experience, you must work, but it is easy when you know the direction to go.....

I am not knowledgeable and hand crafty at all....I was only good in my work to explain books to people....But if i can, anybody can.... But we must be a little creative for sure....

My deepest regards to you....
