My two Martin Logan Depth i subs are made '6 sided' with 3 equally opposing 8" drivers, This, as stated above, eliminates almost all internal vibrations. Several months back I put Stillpoints SS feet under each sub directly to my sprung wooden floor and they made a substantial positive difference. I already had these on hand. I plan on trying springs there at some point, in no hurry though.
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.
