@indranilsen The FOS heavy duty only support 3-6kg per foot. My turntable is at least 40kg.
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 |
Soild-tech are one of the pioneers (1995), I don't believe they copied anyone. Years ago when we were searching for isolation devices for loudspeakers, Solid-tech of Sweden and Townshend of UK (1987) were the main two to be found on the internet. Solid-tech doesn't appear to use similar technology or use of springs in the same manner Townshend does? I see many knock-offs now coming from newcomers though. |
