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.

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. |
Amplifiers, speakers, and subs are on springs here now for a nice sonic improvement. If you want an alternate to Nobsound, try simply purchasing loose springs. By purchasing a few extra, I was able to add springs in strategic locations when needed to adjust the overall support. For example, under each amp I have springs in the four corners plus one directly beneath the large transformer. I also found you can place thin heat shrink around the springs and overlap on top and bottom to avoid scratching floors and the bottoms of your equipment....this is similar to what is shown on the Townshend site for their pods. The supplier linked below is fast, relatively inexpensive, and has a nice search tool you can use to enter your spring parameters. https://www.centuryspring.com/catalog/compression-regular?page=search&cid=compression-regular |
