Td150 springs from intovinyl

[Flyingorthopod]

Hi all
My td150 needs new springs. New options aren't all that easy to find.
Has anyone got experience of the replacement sets from intovinyl.com?

Thanks

No experience of Intovinyl. I bought mine from Vinyl Nirvana.

Thanks, they aren't shipping to UK at the moment and didn't reply to a couple of emails I sent

Would Linn springs fit?

What sort of trolltastic post is this exactly?

Buy Linn springs from a dealer - couple of quid each and perfectly compatible, not that the originals ever actually wear out.

PS @Mr Intovinyl (if you're watching) - Go and kick your web designer securely up the arse for not figuring out that people will want to view your website at different zoom levels and expect the option lists to scroll accordingly, and actually it might be sensible to make the product you're trolling easy to find on the site! I have failed!

Go mushrooms instead

+1.

The AUDIOSILENTE SILICONE MUSHROOMS I installed in our LP12 were originally designed for THORENS turntables anyway.

Pretty cheap to give them a go!

What makes you think the original springs need replacing?

They fit, but are too stiff.

One of them bottoms out however much I adjust the nut and has no bounce. If there's a solution I'd be happy to learn!

Linn springs are slightly too long for the 150 although they can be used.

When i tried a new set of Linn springs in a 150 they were way too stiff, even slackened right off it was locked out.

Might try the mushrooms.

I've discovered the tonearm, rb300,is mounted 7mm too close to the spindle. How much difference is this likely to.make? It sounds pretty good to me....

Have you tried a change to butterfly nuts.
