Great work here on tuning these things. Definitely not a case of plop em down and all is well. Have tried half a dozen springs now, plus variations, all were much better in at least some ways but it takes some work to get the most out of them.
Rick did the hard work in the beginning figuring out what to use under the Moabs. He used math and physics but the rest of us can use what indranilsen is doing, seat of the ears, try and see.
The four Nobsound with 4 springs each under my turntable were under Round Things and above granite. Got the wild idea to flip two of them around, so from bottom up its granite, Round Thing, spring, Shelf. Lo and behold there was a nice improvement in midrange presence, treble extension, and a much greater sense of acoustic space!
Went back and sure enough the midrange was ever so slightly less clean and clear. So flipped the two back again. Then flipped a third, and finally a fourth. Was kind of afraid of getting too much top end or too lean bass but this never happened. Hate to say its like magic but it really is.
Maybe one of these younger people will come over and tell me its too much. I don’t know. Pretty sure my old ears top out at 12k, 15 maybe tops. But what I do hear, the ability to hear both the music and the acoustic space its in is just fantastic.
uberwaltz, when using just 2 its much more stable along the long axis between the two than crosswise. Each one by itself is quite wobbly. But try orienting them so they are all pointed to the center. That should be a lot more stable.
