Townshend Isolation Products.


Update on the Townshend platform: initially the wrong cells were installed on the platform per the weight of the turntable. I was then sent a set of the corner platforms for my rack. This was the solution to a number of problems. My footfall issues are gone and the overall sound has improved with a quieter background and a wider soundstage. my entire system has seemed to benefit from the corners. I have moved the platform over to my DAC. I am so astounded by the benefits of the platform and corners, I have ordered the podiums to go under my speakers. I'm totally bought in to the benefits of the Townshend isolation products. A huge shoutout to John Davis Hannant for his tireless customer service and his dedication in getting me the solution I needed.

I have the Townshend podiums underneath my monitor audio platinum 200 G2, and the before and after difference was as if I had upgraded to more expensive electronics, the bass got tighter faster more articulate The sound stage got wider deeper more airy and spacious and even more three-dimensional than it already was, best upgrades you could ever make they're not cheap but they're well worth it.

The next upgrade I'm going to be doing is changing my internal wire from the silver plated OFC to OCC single crystal and I'm also going to cryo the crossover.

Breaking news (anyway, experience from last night).  

I bought new speakers.  they sounded excellent on my Townsend platforms.  I took them off to try them coupled to the floor and while they were off I ordered some new feet for them.  they stayed on the floor a few days and just seemed to get harsher and harsher.  I thought "what have I done, my ears are starting to hear the harshness now.  these speakers will have to go."   

Last night I put them back on the platforms and I haven't heard a single harsh note since.  I was reminded how pleasantly surprised I was when I put the platforms under my old speakers.   One of the major tweeks I've made--at least major results.

These are great products that really work. I love that the platform is designed to the weight and size of the component. I already had Symposium under the speakers otherwise I would totally look into Townshend. 

Using the Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums under my speakers was a revelation: the music sounded completely freed from the loudspeakers: clearer more dynamic bass, more open midrange and an expanded well defined soundstage.

I had previously tried several other speaker isolation products but the Townshend are in a class by themselves. I use their isolation products under all my electronics with similar gains in SQ. Well worth the expense.
