Keeps posting the same crap. Why the mods allow this guy on the site, he only drags things down. Facts all wrong too. $425 per set of four right now, and that includes shipping.
Here is what a Pod looks like inside, if instead of ripping one apart destroying it in the process of trying to make it look bad you simply screw the top off.
The top piece turns to provide height adjustment for leveling. The cap inside is where the real technology comes in. Notice they are marked for load. That is because they are all the same size but with different spring rates for different component loads.
Now the most interesting part is the tiny little hole at the bottom. The black bellows material that encases the spring traps the air inside creating a bellows effect. Spring bouncing up and down forces air through the small hole. This is precision engineered to provide just the right amount of damping. This is what makes the Townshend Pods so much better than other products like Nobsound.
This tiny little hole is like putting Koni performance shocks on your car. Good shocks allow free travel to absorb small bumps in the road, but at the same time provide responsive handling by damping larger body roll type movement.
In the same way Pods isolate micro-vibrations, particularly in the audio band, while controlling resonant behavior. This absence of resonance is what reveals so much natural instrumental timbre and tone.
All from that one tiny little precision engineered hole in the top.
