Townshend Audio ones Through

Recently there was a posting where the OP asked if anyone else was having a problem getting a response from Townshend Audio to their questions. I responded in the affirmative as I had recently sent three emails to them via their website without a response. Emails sent through  Audiogon however did get an immediate  response. Apparently, an upgrade to their website caused this glitch. When this was brought to his attention a very apologetic John Townshend contacted me and went out of his way to address  the issue I emailed them about. Townshend Audio has great products and I would not hesitate to purchase from them in the future.

Hello Mr. Miller Carbon:

I am going to bother you with one more question. Looking at your pictures, what are those discs between your speakers and the podiums and do you feel they are necessary?

Thanks again for all your help.

Those are BDR Round Things. I have a lot of BDR from back in the 90's when it was pretty much the best thing around. So for years they were under everything. Pods and Podiums are a lot better, hugely better. But they can be used together. In my case since I already have them it cost me nothing. But if I didn't already have them no way would I buy, and that is why I don't even hardly mention them any more. It is such a chore moving the speakers around I haven't even tried to compare, just use em as much out of habit as anything, to be honest.   

The Round Things under the Podiums, different story. Those I did try both ways and they do make an improvement. Not enough to be worth buying though. If you use them on carpet I would just look for some nice looking furniture gliders, anything that will slide on carpet as that will make small adjustments a lot easier.

Following MC I replaced my Gaia’s with the podiums and I was very surprised at the improvement. IMHO they work very very well with Full Range speakers and ribbon cables (In my case the wonderful silversmith Fideliums). Hard to imagine a more “live” sound. PRAT is amazing. Like others I thought I had vibration solved until these. Thanks MC
