Townshend Springs under Speakers

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.

“ But in the audiophile Zealot world, the only subjective experience that counts is someone who claims positive results. Negative results never count against a claim , are to be ganged up upon and belittled “

@prof

Your experience with Townshend is yours alone. Share specifically how they were used etc… When you do this we all benefit. Nothing in audio is absolute. A product works wonderfully in one situation and not another for a host of reasons, some understood and some not.

The attitude behind a post, how something is said, is very important. If something did not work for you, but does for me there is no reason for you, or other tag along posters who have not even tried the product, to speculate negatively about another person or experience.

Again, there are no absolutes here as the variables at play are too numerous and divergent. Readers here will learn from the aggregate of poster experiences shared on this forum.

I was wrong about your actual experience with these footers under electronics and apologize for that. I am always interested in all user experiences, both positive and negative, on a given product. This is precisely why this forum can be very helpful.
