Townshend Springs under Speakers

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.

Promises, promises. But, you didn't leave it at that, did you? 

Why "seem"? If you actually tried it would be "know" not "seem".  

Why, "wings on a pig"? If you really thought it was this nonsensical why would you even try?   

"Under normal circumstances"? Why the qualifier? If you actually tried you would know the circumstances, wouldn't you?   
 

I’ve tried the pods under my amps and pre-amp 

Oh, so now you tell us? After promising to "leave it at that"?      

But, did you really? Pods are sized according to load. Your amp weighs exactly as much as your pre-amp? And in the beginning you said dac.   

Your story is as full of holes as they come. Zero credibility. I could say a lot more but will leave it at that. 

Well Einstein, he tried it under his gear and told you there was no improvement, yet you still beat the guy up.

If he told you there was no chance of the pods working on his gear and he hadn't tried them you would have said he had no opinion.

Who has lack of credibility now?
Rent free buddy rent free...

Yes, I tried my Townshend C isolation pods under my heavy Premier 12 monoblocks. And under my pre-amp.   This was before I used them under my Turntable base.  I was trying tons of different isolation materials and footers.    (As well as Isoacoustic and other footers...no sonic change).

I also tried the Nobsound-type spring footers under both as well.

But in the audiophile world, the only subjective experience that counts is someone who claims  positive results.  Negative results never count against a claim ;-)

"Oh, you must have crappy gear or cloth ears...that's why you hear no difference.  Because it couldn't be that I'm imagining anything."  ;-)

Anyway, I'll be trying my Townshend isolation bars under my speakers soon to decouple from my springy wood floors, where it's actually plausible it could make a difference.

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?09-15-2021 7:00am

I always heard it as being, “like spats on a pig”.

I concur with @prof points, and they are something I concur with.

It is tiresome to ask how something works and be told, “well just buy the $6000 and see for yourself”.Or with power cords, “buy them an see.”

There seems to be a majority that have little intellectual curiosity in know the “How” and “why” part.

On my deleted post the day, I used the term “Connoisseurs of ignorance”. It is certainly OK not to know why something works, but that ignorance is not something that one should be taking a great deal of pride and celebration in.

Somethings are we may never fully know, but we should be able to appreciate that some people are working towards trying to understand those things, even if it is a quixotic endeavour.
