Springs under turntable


I picked up a set of springs for $35 on Amazon. I intended to use them under a preamp but one thing led to another and I tried them under the turntable. Now, this is no mean feat. It’s a Garrard 401 in a 60pound 50mm slate plinth. The spring device is interesting. It’s sold under the Nobsound brand and is made up of two 45mm wide solid billets of aluminum endcaps with recesses to fit up to seven small springs. It’s very well made. You can add or remove springs depending on the weight distribution. I had to do this with a level and it only took a few minutes. They look good. I did not fit them for floor isolation as I have concrete. I played a few tracks before fitting, and played the same tracks after fitting. Improvement in bass definition, speed, air, inner detail, more space around instruments, nicer timbre and color. Pleasant surprise for little money.

If you look at the third or fourth pic on my system you can see the type of cones I am using under the GoldNote phonostage.

**** If you don’t mind, what was the VPI HW19 MK4 with springs supported by?
What was under it please?****

rixthetrix, the table sat on either a maple shelf on a Target rack or a maple shelf on a Target wall rack/shelf. The table’s stock rubber feet had been replaced with BDR cones, same as those that replaced the stock spring suspension. A brief experiment with sorbothane pucks between table and shelf was...brief...no good. Both the stock spring suspension and the BDR cones were tried with the table on both the rack and the wall shelf. In both cases the BDR cones were much better and the differences between springs and cones were consistent with the table on either supporting surface.
Relating to fine tuning the load by weight, you may want to consider using a suitably  sized and shaped container appropriately  filled with sand or crushed rock.
For those who showed interest in the porcelain cones.
