Springs under turntable

i forget to clarify the fact that if i related my experience here it is only to  inform people about the unbeknownst negative impact of internal resonance of speakers on timbre in particular....This negative impact was always there unbeknownst to me with one set of springs..... That is my experience....

I am perfectly conscious that putting 75 pounds of concrete on top of speakers with 2 sets of springs boxes under the speakers and under the load is NOT a solution for most people....It is one for me and perhaps for someone else....

My best....

uber, If your cat is big enough to nudge a 75 lb weight, I am more afraid of IT than I am of the weight falling on anything.  I don't know if I want to get into it, but I don't see the added benefit of putting springs under a weight to be placed on TOP of a speaker, although a weight per se can be beneficial, and I do that myself.

Lol@ Lewm.

As I said very unlikely but...
We have 6 cats and two of them are 20lb heavyweight contenders.
And at times they play rough....
I could see the 40lb combined weight at velocity hitting a speaker on springs and possibly dislodging said 75lb weight.

But as Mahgister stated, not a great idea for a common area setup which makes a lot more sense.

My 2 set of springs(4 boxes under each speaker and 4 boxes on top of each speaker and those then directly under the load) are slightly differently compressed by a difference around 8 pounds( the weigh of the speakers+ the load for one set of boxes and only the load for the other set of boxes)... This fact is important....

Then the distribution of the resonance pattern inside the speakers are modified so much that it is possible to immediately hears the difference.... It is not a difference in the direction toward bass frequencies or high frequencies, even if they improved, instead more a direction toward better mids frequencies and better timbre tonality and a better imaging then....A naturalness impossible for me to get with only one set of boxes under the speakers even if the load is fine tuned for them....

I think no one has use the spring boxes in this way, then even with springs internal speakers resonance has a destructive effect that goes unnoticed .... I realize that after my experiment....Adding a second set of boxes decrease internal resonance interferences...


No cat or children allowed in my audio room, and even my wife give me the dust cleaner to use it myself here.....I think that only ghosts of great composers go trough my room but their spectral wandering pose no threat to the equilibrium of this tower of springs, plates, and slabs of concrete.....I will look for some load more dense and compact than concrete..... :)

Bars of gold bullion perhaps?
