Springs for homemade isolation stand


I want to suspend my granite top from my Sound Anchor rack w. some springs to create an isolation stand. I have about 100 -200 lbs of equipment on the granite top including a turntable. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a source for the springs that can support the weight & control resonance.

Dgad, why would you want to do this? I can see where you might think this will help isolate your equipment from floor-borne vibrations.

But if you do this what do you suppose will happen to the air-borne vibrations and internally-generated resonance already captured by and now inside your components?

More importantly, which of these three sources of vibrations and resonance induce the most sonic havoc?

BTW, nice system and room.

Along the same vein as Markd51, you might also consider installing 3 feminine hygiene pads under each component, the rack, and each speaker.

Although it's pretty much a crapshoot for sonic improvements, the pads not only provide a clean and complimentarily contrast to most components, they also make the room smell like a cool summer breeze (a real benefit for lovers of smelly hot tube gear).

Of course this is assuming you use new pads, otherwise all bets are off.
