| Nobsound springs - load range Thanks for the information Noromance. It appears that the Townshend Pod is an advanced or enhanced version of isolation. | |
| Nobsound springs - load range After having some experience installing the Nobsounds, I just wonder how other isolation products such as Isoacoustics Orea or Townshend Pods address uneven load distribution of components. I presume sound quality will be affected if the footers a... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range Nobsounds installed on the preamp in my second system. Not much difference here. Nobsounds on the power amp which made the sound worse. After I checked on the installation, I noticed the footers have different degree of compression, some sma... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range I’ll keep this short although I have a lot to write. I am still experimenting with the number of springs on each footer. Patience would be required for this sort of exercise as there are many possible configurations from one to full seven springs ... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components Audio Research Ref 5SE. Nice. Similarly I didn’t want to place the Nobsounds in direct contact with the chassis so I put them directly under the heavy duty cast-iron feet of the component. Due to the nature of the rack I can’t introduce an addit... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components I appreciate the advice. It makes sense to stay with fewer springs. | |
| 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... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range 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. | |
| Nobsound springs - load range 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 ... |
