My nobsound spring isolation feet arrived Sunday, late afternoon. I got them, hoping to alleviate some subwoofer influence on my turntable. I'd noticed some subtle muddyness in louder bass passages with vinyl that I did not detect when streaming the same tracks.
After reading several reviews and discussions, I assembled the feet with only 3 of the possible 7 springs in each foot to accommodate the 20lb weight of my Technics TT.
For starters, I chose Boz Scaggs' album "Dig" which has several bass-heavy tracks including:
"Payday", "Miss Riddle", "I Just Go" and "Thanks to You".
The tracks still had good dynamic range, but the low end was less muddy or boomy...revealing better detail.
Classical music was better too....
STRAVINSKY: THE FIREBIRD SUITE (1919 VERSION)ATLANTA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA AND CHORUSROBERT SHAW, CONDUCTOR has passages where the bass and kettle drums come on strong. The accompanying woodwinds and echoes of the hall are more noticeable now.
Don't have any "cons" to report as of yet...still listening for any issues.
I copied the album info, so forgive the all caps! By the way, this Telarc version of the Firebird Suite is outstanding. Some of the best orchestral reproduction I've heard. At times, startling realism.
