Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components

@whipsaw

Quite the contrary ! , My point being that I consider the Pods to be expensive

for what are,  most likely $30 worth of parts to the manufacturer at cost.

The images that are so desperately reported accurately show the internal construction of,  and an indication of,  the materials utilised in their manufacture .

That isn’t a serious method of critiquing a product. There is a member on this very thread who has impressively demonstrated the measurable differences between a variety of such devices, and the Townshend are among the best.

Now, if you want to argue that the Nobsound represent better value, you would have a leg to stand on. But there is nothing about the build quality of the Townasend that suggests anything other than good design, and quality.

Anyone could tear down most expensive speakers and say "Look! These parts, by themselves, are not very expensive, therefore the product is very overpriced."

@whipsaw 

The only and singular question that I posed for members by posting the images being to make their own mind up about the relative value of theproduct in question.

I don’t consider it necessary to list a X Vs X Vs X list of other products

Like we need you to tell us we can make up our own minds. Where do you get this sense of self-appointed superior being from anyway?

I don’t know how many different ways that I need to say this, but simply cutting open such a product and posing that question is a waste of everyone’s time.

The product works well, and better than those of most of its competitors. Trying to disparage them by arguing that the aggregate value of the individual parts is much lower than the retail price is dumb, as that largely meaningless game could be played with virtually all audio components.
