| Survey on Cost of Loudspeakers Supported On Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums Hans was happy cuz his wife let him keep the Gaia’s. Folks that have moved up to the Podiums from the Gaia’s have stated a nice improvement. | |
| Your single most significant purchase mistake? They did. Alberto told me they took it away because of Powell’s lack of customer service. | |
| Your single most significant purchase mistake? Biggest mistake was dealing with Mike Powell Bought a pair of AGD Tempo GAN amps and just didn’t work out in my system. Sent them back within 3 weeks of the 30 day trial and he said he spent my money. He pieced me back the 9k over a 10 week peri... | |

| Townshend Pods - How many do I actually need per component for max effectiveness? 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 h... | |
| AKM makes the best DACs No one will agree on best. I would say AKM dacs are the most ‘listenable” dacs on the market. Not the most in ultimate resolution but never any fatigue. | |
| Townshend Audio speaker podiums...three ways to install I have Combak harmonica footers on my podiums. Sounds sublime. I did not have much help when I received my podiums so I just put the footers on the platforms and hoisted the Persona 5f’s on to the platforms. One day I will take feet and spikes and... | |
| Cary Audio DMS600 or 700 vs Bluesound Node 2 I have a 700 and sure it is an upgrade from the Bluesound You can use it just as a streamer but would not make much sense by paying a bunch of extra dollars for the Dac system. You may want to look at an Aurender streamer as an upgrade to the ... | |
| Love my new amp and pre-amp I have the 5f’s also. Put them on Townshend Podiums and you will go to another level. Sounds like you have the right synergy going. | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Podiums under speakerspods under amplifier (s)pods under pre amppods under Dac/streamer. That’s the order of improvement in my system | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Finished up a few days ago installing the Townshend pods. I wanted to do it in stages to see where the biggest bang for the buck was. I started with 4 under the Rogue RP 7 linestage. While certainly not the impact of the Podiums a really nice bum... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread ‘Lumin U1 & Paul Hynes SR5 PSU. I am very surprised, but Yellow and Purple did not bring significant changes’Thru my time of upgrading fuses starting with the Hi Fi Tuning Supreme and the SR reds I have noticed the Streamer is the least sensit... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread At first install I was surprised how good the Light Blue sounded. Usually fuses are rollercoasters the first 100 hours or so. Definitely a nice pace and very enjoyable. After a couple weeks I swapped the SR Orange back in and just more lively and ... | |
| New Cary DMS 700 600. The 600SE I believe is a CD player/dac | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread I went back to the SR orange over the Light Blue in my Rogue RP 7 tube linestage. At first I thought the Light blue was better. Gave it a couple weeks. Switched the Orange back in. Much more sparkle and detail. Reinstalled the blue for a few days.... |
