Bingo!

@normb Can't argue with you about small details. I'm in that unforgiving business too where it either works or it doesn't.

To be honest, doesn't everyone use a digital scale nowadays rather than trust a knob and markings? BTW, even though VTF is by spring, you can zero out dynamic force and apply static force with the weight only.

Are you sure your scale is calibrated?!

There may be a fault with your arm. Try reach out to SME directly.  
To couple, or not to couple, that is the question
This is incorrect. At audio frequencies, the springs do not bounce.  If you mount flexibly the speaker will move and smear the sound, especially low frequency.

@aewarren I tried both on basement concrete and springs sound better there too. On a concrete basement slab, I think I would couple.

Here you go.

Bummer way to go after all that pounding on the skins.

Springs will wobble if pushed at frequencies much lower to what the speaker is generating such that, at audio frequencies, they are as stable as they would be on spikes.  
Springs under turntable
Anyone else using Nobsound springs under their turntables, amps and speakers?  
The character of analog and digital
@ghdprentice Maybe your LP12 is a limiting factor.

Question About Capacitor Upgrade in Tube Amp
If you could fit one or more ClarityCap TC600 film caps in the power supply to replace the electrolytic, you’ll get a cleaner, blacker sound. They need 10 hours+ to break in from sounding plasticky. I've done this so I'm speaking from experience!
