Townshend Springs under Speakers

If you look at the Townshend videos on You Tube there is one in a convention hall..and after they suddenly Cutaway from Jumping Jack Flash they show the speakers side by side..One speaker on the podium and one on points...there is 0 noise on either display. No seismic noise that day? No mechanical noise that day? No noise from HVAC no trains or planes or automobiles that day in a convention hall in a big city in England??? Wouldn’t there be environmental noise on the display at idle..so buy a $1400 platform that protects you from none of those occurrences..Now it may offer you a noise solution from playing rugby or basketball in your audio room.

The points appear to be generic like those that come packed with some Klipsch speakers compared to a $1400 platform..Great story telling and editing but they missed the 1 eye found.

But as owners consistently say, we love how they make our systems sound. What else is more important here? 

They say the same about the Sistrum products..I have been trying for years to have a qualified reviewer do a shootout between racks and or  platforms..The only one that came even close was Norm Luttbeg of Stereotimes..He ran the gambit with many including active laboratory platforms that were 5k each then Stillpoints and then the Sistrum platforms.

Here is one, where you can clearly see there is a low noise level on both, maybe slightly more on the spiked speakers on the left. https://youtu.be/7ew4dRUEm-k?t=30 But that is not the whole point. As has been stated many, many times, the main benefit is to remove ringing with the floor thereby allowing the speaker cabinet vibrations to dissipate out much faster for the cleaner clearer sound everyone reports hearing. Watch the video it is perfectly clear.

Here’s another one https://youtu.be/BOPXJDdwtk4?t=27 You can see quite clearly there is some background noise on both speakers, just a little more on the spiked one on the left. You can even see the one on the left make a little blip before Max stomps. just from moving his foot getting ready to stomp.

There’s a whole bunch of these. If you have one showing dead flat make-believe like you are saying please provide the link so we can check it out. I would sure like to see it.

This is so clear and easy to understand, especially for a guy as otherwise sharp as yourself, I kind of want to think you are trolling.

One thing I will say, the name Seismic put me off for a long time. Yes there are seismic vibrations and yes they probably do have some impact and yes these things are designed to filter out those sorts of vibrations. But the name is misleading in the sense the seismic part is a sideshow. The real benefit is eliminating ringing. That is what really accounts for all the great improvement everyone is hearing. Maybe that is what is throwing you off the way it did me?

"I do still thing that the Sistrums are pretty amazing"

@roxy54 they are for certain. A straightforward direct comparison between them and the Townshend would be informative.
