Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ?

hi
i have been enjoying buying and listening to hifi for some 35 years now and have seen many items come and go.I have also been interested in the audio cable discussions and i agree that cables do make a difference how much of a difference is a very individual, and a system dependent situation. There has been nothing that has got me so excited and improved the sound of my system that has ever made me want to really share it with fellow audiophiles until i started to try various isolation products.With so much choice from affordable to very expensive i found the hole subject very confusing and i did not know where to start. After trying lots of various products all shapes and sizes with very different results i decided to read reviews which is something i do not usually do to get some advise.I read a review on the Townshend audio seismic podiums they are isolation platforms that go under your speakers .This company is very famous for isolation ideas and have been around some 50 years based here in the UK they also had a factory in the USA back in the 1980s. I contacted Nick at Emporium hifi  and he agreed to install a pair for me so i could have a listen. My speakers are sound-lab dynastats which i use in quite a small room but with the adjustments give a nice sound. After installing the podiums we both sat down with jaws hitting the floor these podium things completely transformed the sound of my system to absolute perfection. After all this time trying various products under my equipment i have now isolated my speakers and the sound quality is exactly what i believe we all are chasing, my sound-labs are now transparent no more bass problems i have just got one big 3D sound stage the dynastats are now very open with deeper much better bass everything is perfect. I now believe isolating your loudspeakers is the first port of call i was so impressed by the Townshend audio seismic products i now sell them as i have never come across anything that has given my system such a great upgrade , the sound is the same as before but now its just so much better its playing deeper bass but tighter much more resolution and no boom , the midrange is so much more human sounding realistic and spacious with the top end so refined and perfect , is anyone using podiums and had the same experiences i would love to hear from you thank you john

Hi sorry to all genuine audiophiles that read this, i must aim this at one person who is not happy about my sharing of a real world class product
to Mr you know who you are, If you have run out of anything useful to say please say no more, it is obvious you have finished your journey in hifi, where like myself and 1000s of other audiophiles we are still enjoying ours, 
Most of the time i day dream about some of the really high end equipment that i could never own but i have nothing negative to say regarding the lucky people that can,
you seem to have great knowledge of isolation and i am thinking you are a very intelligent person, all i can say to you is wheres your passion gone for hifi, the good old days were the good old days, time waits for no man, products improve 
if you have lost your passion towards hifi maybe its time to hang up them speakers,
to me hifi is my life not my business, i have met some great friends threw my passion for hifi i can not think of one enemy except maybe yourself,
you have added great knowledge to this discussion,
if it was one of your products i was mentioning i guess you would hold back your negative comments, you have had 3 or 4 posts removed because they were of no interest in the discussion and were insulting, i am interested in any ones advice or opinion on anything that can help make the recorded arts sound realistic,
if i have favorite products its because they have brought me closer to the sound of live music, placing my soundlabs on Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums is the biggest upgrade in sound quality i have heard from my system, i will not say any different for you or anyone else because its true and i hope all audiophiles out there still enjoying our growing hobby, life style, can now narrow down there search for isolation in a world where choice has made most purchases quite confusing, out of 1000s of different brands i am very interested to know which ones stand out, if i find a needle in the haystack i will pass on my findings to everyone who is interested.

What’s insulting is the shamless non stop shilling. Which wouldn’t be so bad were it not for the fact you’re repeating yourself over and over again. By the way you still haven’t learned how to make paragraphs which is another source of annoyance. For someone from England your English is atrocious.

My my insults insults and more insults, i do not understand shilling but it sounds like your jealous
As for my English this is not important you must be able to read it as you keep on telling me off, i am all about the music and creating that magic system that takes you there, over here in the UK we are experiencing groundbreaking isolation products, i am merely sharing the news.

Mains, are you that dense? You should not be promoting products you sell. Hel-loo! You don't really think it's that easy, do you?

From your OP,

"...the dynastats are now very open with deeper much better bass everything is perfect. I now believe isolating your loudspeakers is the first port of call i was so impressed by the Townshend audio seismic products i now sell them as i have never come across anything that has given my system such a great upgrade..."

GEOFF.
I am in no way a dealer period, i of course have links to dealers i have been around some 35 years , buying hifi from dealers i feel is safer than chancing expensive mistakes without warranty, or paying strangers over the internet,
Since hearing the effects of the podiums of course i am going to shout out ,best upgrades ever, for your information Townshend Audio sell direct to anyone just give them a call, you may find fellow members on here already have, i have not received no payments from anybody on audiogon for anything, i am passing on my findings, if anyone is interested i hope my experiences have helped fellow members, if anybody has paid me directly for any hifi products please can you tell Geoff, he does not like the fact Max Townshend has designed Ground breaking Isolation products, and i am telling you all about them,
there is only one dealer on here and that is Geoff Kait the rest of us are genuine audiophiles, sharing our passion for our hobby. and lifestyle.
