Townshend Springs under Speakers


I was very interested, especially with all the talk.   I brought the subject up on the Vandersteen forum site, and Richard Vandersteen himself weighed in.   As with everything, nothing is perfect in all circumstances.  If the floor is wobbly, springs can work, if the speaker is on solid ground, 3 spikes is preferred.

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.

I value your response to me , you have a lot of credibility with me given I own a few of your Helix cables, and I know that you have done a lot of mod/build work on your own equipment as well as for others.

You don’t understand

Well if you or anyone else does, I’m all ears.

What’s wrong with saying I've seen no reason how it could work, and asking how it could work?

"This gets so tiresome."

Why is wondering how something does, or could work, tiresome?

Is this a place only for the most incurious consumers? I hope not.

Why shouldn’t I be able to voice my own view that spring decouplingunder speakers makes some sense, is measurable, and I’ve heard the sonic differences?

Where putting it under certain other equipment, e.g. CD players, DACs and often enough amps seems to make no sense and nobody is explaining how it could actually work?

I’ve tried the pods under my amps and pre-amp just for the heck of it.No sonic difference at all. Is this allowed, or should this be one monolithic "no questions asked" website?
