Nobsound springs - load range
Right. Looks like there is no easy way out. I will do it by ear also. Not easy since my amp is quite heavy and it’s quite a chore to move the footers in and out. That may explain why I felt the sound was better yesterday when the springs have les... 
Nobsound springs - load range
The gap at the front footers is 3.5mm. The rear footers are worse as they currently have a smaller 2mm gap. If the Nobsounds require a larger gap I’ll add one spring to the rear footers which will probably get the gap up to 5mm. When I first inst... 
Nobsound springs - load range
noromance 6,792 posts 11-24-2021 1:00pm @ryder The springs under your Luxman are too compressed.   May I know the recommended compression? I was made to understand that the optimal compression of Solid Tech footers is betwe...

Bkeske, this is the layout of my amp. Now I realize why it’s heavier at the front. The transformers are closer to the front.   Nobsounds on my amp. I managed to reduce the gap to 3.5mm at the front. 2mm gap at the rear.

Why not try one footer centered at the rear with 5 springs on it? There are manufacturers such as Esoteric that have only 3 factory installed footers under their disc players.   I’m just unsure and a little wary of the potential danger due to ...

Alright, thanks for the advice again.  Will not rush it.

Tonywinga, looks good. Thanks. I am currently getting a very good sound quality from the system with the current set up. I’ve made some adjustments to the number of springs at each Nobsound footer. I had to remove two springs from each footer to... 
Nobsound springs - load range
Right, I need some advice. No matter how I adjust the number of springs at all 4 footers, the gap between the top and bottom metal pieces of the two footers located at the front will not be the same as the two footers at the rear. Current Setup ...

Tonywinga, thanks for the advice. I just read your message after I posted mine above. Will reduce the springs in due time. Yes, you are correct the optimal set up is to have the two metal ends almost touching each other. 1 to 3 mm is the recommend...

Thanks Whipsaw. Short version. Just marvellous. The Nobsound was supposed to be used with the Naim pre/power in the 2nd system. I wasn’t expecting much from the Nobsound when they were installed in the main system since the components are already ...

Thanks for the prompt response. Will look into it now. I've just removed one spring each from the rear footers and the gap looks even now.  Will do some manual compression after you have made the suggestion.  
Nobsound springs - load range
After installing the Nobsound springs under 4 feet of the component, I found the degree of compression at all 4 corners to be dissimilar. The gap of the springs at the front appears to be smaller than the rear. This may suggest that the component ...
