Townshend Springs under Speakers

Update.
I placed three B Pods under the dac. Two under the heavy side with the trannys and chokes and one on the lighter side. Now the Pods are just under 2 inches high meeting the 30% compression rule.

The unit now moves more freely when touched. I will work with John and perhaps try 4 A Pods instead. The 1.75-2.0 inch compressed height is ideal.

The Pods measure 2.87 inches in height when uncompressed. 30% compression puts it just right at 2 inches high. They can be adjusted up close to a 1/2 inch for leveling and still keep the 30% compression rule. I would not recommend adjusting them up 1/2 inch as the adjusting bolt is almost completely out at this point and the top cap is a bit wobbly to the touch when not in place. I would think a 1/4 inch max upward adjustment is more reasonable.

I will respond to you more fully once I listen more. If you do not have the five upgraded and very heavy Lundahl chokes, then the 4 A Pods are best.
My early impressions are the Pods sound more balanced top to bottom, have a better sense of ease and natural tone, and are more open sounding. The IsoAcoustics sound a tad bit lite up in the highs in comparison. Brighter if you will.

Thank you grannyring

Decoupling speakers that actually vibrate, and which can vibrate a floor, from the floor, I get.   The effects are actually measurable.

Spring footers under a dac seem about as necessary as wings on a pig. Unless you are perhaps on a ship in a storm, it doesn't make any sense to me.  Under any normal circumstances, there is no reason whatsoever to expect it to change the sound.  No more than it would help my computer run it's software better. 

But...I'll leave it at that.

Sure. You don’t understand nor have any direct experience with Townshend under electronics, so in the end your comments fit that “pigs wings” statement more accurately. This gets so tiresome. This should be a place to share actual experiences, not a place to deposit a turd in the punch bowl. You don’t possess all knowledge on this topic, nobody does, and have no direct experience with this. Why the turd?

I don’t often speak out against your sort of post, but it is getting so tiresome and ruining this site. Your comment is in no way helpful.
