Moabs are on BDR Cones, on MDF Spring Thing. Springs are on BDR Round Things so they can slide over the carpet real nice.
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.

@noromance- You would need 7 units to handle such a load which might not be practical besides it's my experience that optimal performance comes from using as less such units as possible. So less is better... Nobsound springs are relatively stiffer and might work well for such heavier loads and as you pointed out they are working very well for you. You should be all set. Enjoy the music. Thanks. |
noromance, you need to look at the Solid Tech Rack of Silence 1 Reference. It will handle 40 kg https://www.solid-tech.net/silence/?SingleProduct=28 |
