Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components

millercarbon,
I don’t know about the silly descriptions that you pointed out, but these things really work. They allow the supported component to shine into such a relaxed sound.

They also have one of the weirdest break in effects that I have encountered. It takes about 1+ week to stabilize. During this time the sound will go from out of phase sounding, to bright, then dark. A footer needs to break in? Yes, it does, I think it is because it adjusts to the weight imposed on it.
And, I am told that just moving them will cause a disruption in sound quality for a while. Set them up and forget it.

I would be interested in knowing what they are made of...

As for the Nobsound, there's this negative take on this product,

Interesting, the reviewer noted some of the negatives I noticed with those footers too. (E.g. a bit too recessed in the lower mids, lost richness).

I noticed that as well but forgot to mention it when I read your post. 
Once is chance, twice is coincidence, third time is a pattern. 👍

i read his review and observed AT FIRST LISTENING the exact same negative thing aboout mid range and bass...

But instead of writing a review i decide to think... 😁😊 ( i dont write and will never write review anyway)




And i observed immediately that loading the speakers with a damping fine tuned mass i gain more positive results...

And after that i bought a second set of 4 boxes for each speaker and i put them on top of the speaker UNDER the damping fine tuned mass of concrete...Decreasing some resonance from the speakers box doing so....

Now : High perfect and airay, mids like flowing lava, and bass clear and punchy...

Listrening WITHOUT experimenting is without any value...Many reviewers do that and people buy their negative or positive hype...


Before UPGRADING or REVIEWING we must try to embed MECHANICALLY in this case in the rightful way what we are listening to by experimenting with it ...



But at the end of his article  THIS REVIEWER suggest to damp the springs itself.... A good idea i keep in mind for myself to try... That improved the sound quality.... Then this reviewer is a good one indeed... But it is not often like that...

Nice fix for your problem. It shows that it pays to keep at it.
