Iso Acoustics tweak for regarding P9 or probably any rega table

After Art Dudley noted an improvement in his turntable with the Iso Acoustics pucks. I ordered the "Indigo"
units to try with various components. I got 3.  They proved to enable my Rega P9 turntable to exhibit more
of a full soundstage and a bit bigger presentation than other substitute feet I've tried.  May work with other
rega tables too.  Weight wise ( the P9 is maybe 20 lb) you could make do with the Oreo Bronze  instead of the slightly more costly Indigos.  3 bronzes support 24 lbs.  3 indigos support 48 lb. The latter slightly higher.
Try to evenly distribute weight in 1/3's.  I left stock feet in place.  My table set up for mono.  Bessie Smith
sounded full and rich and detailed.  Bottlehead seduction.  Pass p20. Pass xa30.5. Sopra 1's.

Just bought a pack of 10 Century Spring Company compression coil springs off the bay.
3 inch long, 1.25 inch od, 0.080 coil wire diameter, 17 coils. Rated for 26lb each spring.
I figure with my 45lb turntables I will try three first (78lb total) and if that sags a little too much will go for 4 at 104lb total but I think the 3 should be perfect.
Cost was an enormous $27.50 for the 10!
Just spent an hour researching coil springs on the net first for all the attributes and then went a hunting!
We will see......

I also was not overly impressed with the GAIA and ended up reselling them on.
More to discover
