Townshend Pods - How many do I actually need per component for max effectiveness?

Hello,

 

Experiences from actual users would be greatly appreciated. I have a phono preamp (28lbs), amp (100lbs), linestage (20lbs), and potentially a DAC (6 lbs) that I am looking to get pods for. 

 

Should I get 4 per component or would 3, or even 2 work just as well/better? If anyone can share their experiences with the pods and experimenting with the number they used and what it did to the sound, I’d be thankful.

One pair of Podiums and two sets of Pods.

Very cool, have you tried other isolation products before or is this your first?

Nice looking pics, this should be a nice test for the Townshends. Please report back on your experience.

Podiums are game changers. You will hear distinct layering in the music.  Drummer will be in the rear. Piano maybe 3 ft in front. Vocals may be a couple more feet forward. No more everything pushed back on a deep plane.  You will be shaking your head at first till you get used to it.
