Sorbothane pucks work pretty well and VPI even used them instead of springs in their HW19 Jr. model.
Alternative for VPI springs?
I have an HW19/IV with the standard spring suspension. I have often wondered if the performance could be improved with a non-spring suspension. It seems the favorite substitute is Sims Navcom Silencers, no longer available and rarely offered for sale used.
Is there anything I can actually get that does the job well?

Rpfef...the other VPI thread that you posted to, listed the Herbie's Big Tall Extra-Firm Tenderfeet for use on the HW-19 tables. Here is the LINK I have never tried these, but they are listed as replacements for the VPI in the ad on the link above. |
Rpfef...I realize what they are designed for. Here is what is stated in the ad: Big Tall Tenderfoot: Same as above except molded extra tall to lift components free of tall factory feet. Also great for turntables having severe footfall or other macro-vibrational issues. Superior upgrade for AR, Thorens, and VPI suspension springs. Read the last sentence... |
