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.

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.

 

Coming from YOU … Oh MY… The Irony Is Breathtakingly EPIC …

Were you to apply that criteria to posting regulations on this forum it would be a 10th of the size … Are you saying that any images of say an amplifier , a DAC etc etc showing the internal build quality should be made verboten as irrelevant?

You really are obtuse. I'm saying that posting a photo of the innards of a product, and, without further context, suggesting that it is therefore overpriced, is dumb.

There is far more important and compelling evidence on this thread supporting the value of the product, and yet you have no answer beyond regurgitating your biased photos.
