IMHO I would do the amp first among other things because it is tubed
Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components
I installed a set of Isoacoustics Gaia 2s on my speakers about a month ago and was extremely pleased with them. I'm now curious about the Oreas.
My components are currently placed on a good rack with Finite Elemente Cerabase footers at the bottom of the rack. I was wondering if individual isolators such as the Orea or Seismic Pod placed under components can further improve sound quality. I've read contradictory comments about the Orea. Some say they brought an appreciable difference when placed under components such as DAC or amplifiers. Some say they bring nothing to the sound, zero difference.
I would appreciate experiences on the Isoacoustics Orea or the Townshend Seismic Pod, or the comparison between the two products. The Oreas look better than the Pods to me although the latter may be costlier.

Thanks @astolfor . I received the spring this morning. So far, I’m not really liking what I’m hearing. There is a slight bit of ringing which is causing fatigue. I placed the springs directly underneath the chassis. Three springs each in the front footers, four each in the back. Maybe I need to remove one spring from each footer? |
@arafiq, there is fine tuning to be done. The space between the plates should 1-3mm, sometimes 4. I would start with the least amount of springs and go from there. If you have REW do some measurements before and after along with the different setting changes so you can keep track of what you did. Try to make the gap even regardless the amount of springs in each of the plate pairs.

@arafiq I have 4 and 4 with my X200 and sounds great. Yes slightly more compressed in the rear but it works. @tsushima1 you are what we call a putz here in Chicago. Really you should head back to ASR or did they boot you too? I am a Quantum Fuse Bot. |
