Navacon or Sorbothane Isolators for VPI mk4


I have heard that the sound of the VPI mk4 TT will be improved by replacing the springs with Sorbothane isolators or Navcon Silencers. Can anyone tell me if they have tried this and what your results were?

I use the Navcon silencers in my HW-19 and they work better than the sorbothane ones I used before that.  They have an aluminum base threaded for the same thread that held the springs.  I used some short threaded studs to mount them into the frame and could easily adjust height.  They also don't ooze goop and distort like the sorbothane did.  Unfortunately, I think they are no longer available.  I have occasionally searched for some more but no love.  Herbies may be your best bet.
