Townshend Pods under TT Don’t Do

I always felt if you wanted a Turntable with suspension...
Buy a properly suspended one from the get go. Hanging vertically from the springs not floating around in all directions. Nothing wrong with springs...they just usually work much better as a first thought included in the design and reasoning of the Turntable and the end users needs. Not an after thought from an over looked end users needs. My Orbe SE is one of a few good examples of better use of springs.
Many a non suspended table properly built AND placed with no need for springs under them either. I’ve tried them out of curiosity on other non suspended tables I own. An inexpensive sandbox for far less dollars gives better results Imho...

I'm a fan of springs. Along with the benefits there is "getting accustomed" to the spring effect.

I have three TT, SOTA Sapphire with engineered in suspended from springs subchassis. Brinkmann Bardo on an HRS ( Harmonic Resolution Systems ) base that includes many technologies including springs..

And even a vintage B and O TX with internal springs lauded by Lederman of Soundsmith fame… 

Enjoy the journey and the music !

Joe - super good call on Symposium, the real deal for sure. Always solid engineering.
