Even if you have the right springs for the particular weight of the table, putting all the mass on top of the compliant footers makes the whole system inherently unstable. When a suspension is built into the table, the center of mass is at or below the point of suspension.
Townshend Pods under TT Don’t Do
Greetings,
well with all the talk about how great the Townshend Pods are I decided to try a set of Pods under my TT. I found out the hard way, Don’t do this. I have a good TT on a good rack and it sounds very good. With the Pods I had to sneak up on my TT to change the VTA or to que it up. It would start shaking with the lightest of touch. I bought the correct Pods for the weight of my TT. The Pods didn’t harm the sound but didn’t improve the sound either. I will use the Pods under one of my pre amps for now. I can maybe say they might work under equipment but don’t suggest you use them under a TT.
‘I was very disappointed in the results. Maybe your results will be different.
‘Respectfully
Joe
