Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend!

OK, I have elevated my belief in isolation.  For the first time I feel I have entered the Hi Fidelity zone.  About 3 weeks ago I purchased the Townshend Speaker Bars.  My muddy bass cleaned up, I have better imaging, clarity, precision, speed and focus.  My buddy who is not not into HiFi but has followed my adventures, was blown away.  He said, "OK, now I get why you do this."  Best money spent! 

Denon DL160 (re-tipped by Soundsmith) > Thorens TD150 > McIntosh 8900 > ALK Extreme Slope in Klipsch Belles.  Just another step in the long journey, but a Giant Step for my enjoyment.  My system took a large enough step forward that I am drawn into listening to all of my 2K plus albums again just to enjoy them in a new way. Great people to deal with too, even with Brexit messing things up.  Highly recommended!
I am not associated with them in any way, just want to pass it on.

sorry audio guy but that's doing nothing you're still getting vibrations coming up through the floor into your speakers again until you isolate them properly you're still going to get some that's muddied up once you try to podiums you'll see the difference but if you don't have the money or you're too cheap just say so.

Richdirector the ISO acoustic are very good but the Townsend podiums are on a whole different level that's what everybody in the forums is said that has tried both yeah

Millercarbon, I got the same thing as you when I put the township podiums underneath my speakers it sounded like I upgraded my whole system with new electronics and wire, best investment I ever made far superior to the isoacoustic Gaia even though those are pretty good too.

 Townshend and vibration control in general, and the Townshend seismic platform made a huge improvement for me under my turntable and I have treated my speakers with Symposium platforms because they are more stable since my speakers are tall and thin and I am paranoid that they would fall over if touched standing on top of the podiums or bars. Even put Symposium roller blocks under my amp and phono stage. Improvement not nearly as much as the turntable, which was a lot more than the speakers, but I think they still improved the amp and phono stage a bit.
