Nobosound Springs

others have mentioned these on this forum and Amazon had them on sale, so I purchased 3 sets - 4 springs/set - one each for speakers and one for my VPI TT. I did the speakers first - about a week ago - could not believe the difference in sound. mids were way more clear and open. Like the instruments were hanging in the air. Bass was clean with no booming. I was able to turn the vol control from 3 o'clock to 4 o'clock.

Installed them under the TT a couple days later - did not notice a huge difference in anything, but for the price, I am fine.

I have zero interest in this company.

played D2D from Lincoln Mayorga and others, Royal Ballet from APO, Miles Davis Prestige box set, plus others. All I can say is WOW.

TT is VPI Prime, speakers are full range 8" open baffle from Decware. Amp and pre-amp are tubes from Decware. 

Just sharing - YMMV of course.

I have a really good quality Silent Running Audio Ohio Class isolation platform specifically tuned for my Linn LP12… well worth it. But I have Nobsound springs under everything else. Well worth it, and made a small difference under each… but this stuff adds up to be very important. Over time I will upgrade Nobsound springs for SRA platforms. Great inexpensive treak.

 

I also have one set of Townsend under my headphone DAC… better that Nobsprings, no question. But much more expensive.

Good question. I have a bunch of boxes of Nobsound Springs and a couple boxes of those above, I found the Nobsound much higher quality. The springs fit tighter and I can use them with any number of springs… even one spring. The above have some springs loose and they are difficult to get under components because they fall apart or distort horizontally.

 

I buy the more expensive ones… they are still nearly ten times cheaper than Townsend. Until you can afford Townsend of course.
