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.

Do these work for stand mounted bookshelf speakers? Specifically Joseph Audio Pulsar on Solidsteel 3 legged stands. I already applied blu tac and filled the stands but I can feel vibrations when I touch the stands and I have muddy bass around 60-100hz
Thanks all for the great feedback. It seems I’m better off trying some damped spike bottoms, was looking into these as they are nearby and fairly priced: https://www.bfly-audio.de/en/produkte/produkte-unterlegscheiben.html
Any thoughts? I was thinking to use the same under my turntable, it sits on 3 spikes as well, with small washer like metal rings underneath.
@rixthetrick yes exactly, filled with quartz sand.
@millercarbon thanks, will check them
