My VPI MK3 skips if I walk near it.Should this be?

I'm getting back into analog after a 20 year leave and
was wondering if maybe my Grado cartridge a Silver Prestidge
has the bouncies on my Morch UP-4 Arm with red dot,or is it the table itself.I haven't called VPI yet.I thought I would ask u guys first.Are the springs adjustable on the VPI,if so how? The info supplied with the table doesn't say anything about this.I use to have an AR along time ago and you could adjust the tension of the springs from tight to loose to balance out table.Is this the same principal with this table?

VPI has reversed course on the springs and before dicontinuing the series they went back to sorbathane pucks on the MK III and IV.

They actually sell the older design pucks to retrofit the tables that were sold with springs. Who knows they may give 'em to you. (I doubt it)

I have a MK III that has the pucks and there is no bounce when used upstairs on a pretty springy floor. My previous suspended Thorens bounced if I even thought of walking anywhere near the TT and the VPI resides in the same exact location.

So just change out those springs for the sorbathane pucks.

Good Luck
