| Springs under turntable @millercarbon- I haven't used springs with any end caps or jackets. Those items add damping to the springs and sometimes it could be a good thing if the springs are very bouncy which adds a little ringing to the sound. But too much of damping is b... | |
| Springs under turntable @mitch2- I saw the pictures of the springs that you are using. Quite impressive!!! Where did you get the end caps and also the rubber cover for those springs? I wanted to use it for my springs and appreciate your feedback/help.Thanks. | |
| Springs under turntable @noromance- That is very true for a concrete floor...While it doesn't absorb all the seismic vibration issues but it allows these tools to work optimally relatively easily. You are one of the lucky folks to have the advantage of a concrete floor a... | |
| Springs under turntable @millercarbon- Great idea and very easy to implement. I would try and report back the result.Thanks. | |
| Springs under turntable @millercarbon- The debate between coupling i.e cones and isolation i.e spring/air/magnet/etc as an effective vibration measure will perhaps continue for ever. However I have moved from using Mapleshade brass cones under every component to spring/a... | |
| Springs under turntable @mijostyn- Thanks for your such a thoughtful response. In my experience the isolation set-up process always is a precision job regardless of the component being a turntable or not and it takes a good amount of time. I would rather spend that time ... | |
| Springs under turntable @toetapaudio, @mijostyn, @mahgister- Thanks for your feedback. I will have to adjust the turntable feet height to make it 100% leveled. With springs underneath it sounds like another time-consuming adjustment work that I have to add to the mix....... | |
| Springs under turntable @rixthetrick- Good question on the money... If this technology which I don't think is a huge deal goes mass-market then these footers are not going to cost more than what Nobsound charges. But that will never be the case because there would always... | |
| Springs under turntable Hello,When you guys put spring based isolation devices or any such floating devices do you ensure that the turntable is absolutely leveled? I use a circular level at the center of the platter to level the table. Normally w/o any footer my turntabl... | |
| Springs under turntable @mijostyn- I couldn't agree more on that 3hz isolation level. That is our target. However getting to that 3 hz natural frequency with compression springs needs a special focus on the load interms of weight & material that to me is the most dif... | |
| Springs under turntable Hello,I spent last night adjusting the load on Feet of Silence footers and got it to work. I am excited to report that the footfall issue with my turntable is now gone which I couldn't accomplish using the Nobsound discs. The soundstage has opened... | |
| Springs under turntable Hello,I got the delivery of Solid Tech Feet Of Silence footers this AM. The delivery was lickety spilt, all the way from Sweeden and I didn't have to pay any Customs duty for this purchase. The footer design was excellent ad it does move in all di... | |
| Springs under turntable @noromance- You would need 7 units to handle such a load which might not be practical besides it's my experience that optimal performance comes from using as less such units as possible. So less is better...Nobsound springs are relatively stiffer ... | |
| Springs under turntable Folks,I have just ordered three Feet of silence from Solid-Tech for my turntable on their website. Solid tech has already shipped it from Sweden and I am expecting it to be in the US within a week. I will let you know its performance once I have i... | |
| Springs under turntable @mahgister- I completely agree with you on loading a spring to 3% of its max spring capacity to get the max isolation. I am also working with springs for sometime now. I face two issues when working with springs1. Spring rate. If you want to get t... |
