Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components
@astolfor Thanks for your interesting data. I wonder how much different such measurements would be on hard tile or concrete floors, as opposed to suspended wood? In other words, in theory to benefits of isolation should be smaller on a hard floor, but I wonder if that would be reflected in measurements such as yours.

@millercarbon My bad Credo :) @whipsaw I will have those measurements when I get home, still waiting for Acoustic Signature to send me the replacement turntable as mine was not working properly. My home in Spain is made out bricks, stone and have a lot of plants in my listening rooms. I will be happy with anything in the 100ms-160ms as I have been told that our ears can't distinguish on anything below 100-120ms. But I would love some confirmation on this so please not quote me on it😏. I will be doing some research on this. I believe that the main thing with these measurements is that bellow 448Hz there was a lot of stored energy not only affecting decay, clarity and impulse but distortion, with the Podiums and Credo is all but gone, even in my room mode. I can't wait for my second sub to arrive, because if the simulation in REW is correct it will solve the rest of the 160Hz-200Hz and down decay and distortion. The original distortion from the fundamental all the way to the 8th harmonic get reduced from: 4.72% average with spikes. 4.64% average with Orea. 4.28% average with Gaia. 3.86% average with Nobsound 2-3mm space. 2.42% average with the Podiums. 2.11% with the Credo. I do not want to get into describing how much better or worse the music gets because we all hear different.

@astolfor excellent work and post, hope to meet up with you in the future. Max is a measure and listen guy. There are of course a wider spectrum of isolation than your sample. Maybe Crest is indeed the pinnacle? Enjoy the music. Best to you - Jim |
