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.

Last I heard Sound Advice in Long Beach, California is Townshend Audio's U.S.A. distributor (as well as that of EAR-Yoshino and Helius Designs, both, like Townshend, UK companies), but that was a few years ago.

Finding Sound Advice's Dan Meinwald to pretty pretty useless, I contacted John directly. All my Seismic Pods have come from John (his Townshend Audio relative Mary does the product packing and shipping), and as everyone else has said, he is fantastic to buy from.

@arafiq: The part of the Townshend Audio Seismic products---all of them---that provides the majority of the isolation they afford is the Seismic Pod, which is built into the Platform, Podium, and Bars.

The Pods are available separately in sets of 4, and can be used under loudspeaker stands, or secured to outriggers. I have them bolted onto my Sound Anchor stands, a killer combination.
