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.

You’ve got a lot going on there my friend. Way too much for me to try and analyse. As long as it works for you. Happy listening!

I totally agree on your "three embeddings".
BTW, I bought a set of Connex from 
www.partsconnexion.com years ago. I didn’t like the acrylic, as there was some noise when the springs compressed. Nice to see the Nobsound out of aluminum.

This is why Harbeths and other BBC designs are superior--you don't have to worry about any of this s$!t.

Ignorance seems to be bliss indeed.... :)

Any speakers need to be isolated even Harbeth , any speakers/room need to be treat and acoustically controlled even with Harbeth speakers in the room,, and all house electrical grid produce noise floor which is too high even those containing Harbeth speakers....

Idolizing a brand name is not a solution to embeddings necessities.... :)

I find it interesting that anytime I interject my experience in a thread, it goes dead. Sorry @noromance .
