Townshend Pods - How many do I actually need per component for max effectiveness?

After some correspondence with John at Townshend Audio, I placed a Pod order for my components in the op. I’ll post my thoughts once I’ve listened with them for a little bit.

It ended up being 3 x AA for the DAC, 4 x A for the linestage, 4 x B for the phono preamp, and 5 x C for the amp. Excited to see what this can do to the presentation.

@drack1 I have them on my tube pre amp.  For me they didn't make as much of an improvement as the speaker podiums.  That being said, I was using HRS nimbus footers on my pre amp prior to the pods so the move wasn't from nothing to the pods.

HRS is a company I have been thinking of using. Good to know that their products might be equivalent to Townshend.

Did you ever try removing Pods and Footers to hear the difference?

No I didn't play the system without the pods or footers.

Well, I haven’t received the pods yet (hopefully next week) but I did get a Townshend platform that I put my turntable on, previous footers were Isoacoustics Orea. 

Vocals are bass are clearer, those two things stuck out immediately after playing only one album. After a couple of days listening, it’s quite easy to hear the improvements. I can sum it up by saying there’s more space for everything in the soundstage, making it easier to hear and follow the different sounds.  
 

Easy recommendation, I can’t wait to get the pods for my components!
