Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components


I installed a set of Isoacoustics Gaia 2s on my speakers about a month ago and was extremely pleased with them. I'm now curious about the Oreas.

My components are currently placed on a good rack with Finite Elemente Cerabase footers at the bottom of the rack. I was wondering if individual isolators such as the Orea or Seismic Pod placed under components can further improve sound quality. I've read contradictory comments about the Orea. Some say they brought an appreciable difference when placed under components such as DAC or amplifiers. Some say they bring nothing to the sound, zero difference.

I would appreciate experiences on the Isoacoustics Orea or the Townshend Seismic Pod, or the comparison between the two products. The Oreas look better than the Pods to me although the latter may be costlier.

Quite the contrary ! , My point being that I consider the Pods to be expensive

for what are,  most likely $30 worth of parts to the manufacturer at cost.

The images that are so desperately reported accurately show the internal construction of,  and an indication of,  the materials utilised in their manufacture .

 

 

 

Keep reporting away miller , you obviously want to suppress the truth ?

These images are not mine or of anything I have personally purchased.

Oh , lest we forget… YOU are the one who was suspended from this forum and are on probation here NOT me

@whipsaw 

The only and singular question that I posed for members by posting the images being to make their own mind up about the relative value of theproduct in question.

I don’t consider it necessary to list a X Vs X Vs X list of other products

Coming from YOU … Oh MY… The Irony Is Breathtakingly EPIC …

” Like we need you to tell us we can make up our own minds. Where do you get this sense of self-appointed superior being from anyway? “ 

@whipsaw

Were you to apply that criteria to posting regulations on this forum it would be a 10th of the size … Are you saying that any images of say an amplifier , a DAC etc etc showing the internal build quality should be made verboten as irrelevant?

Well .. I am somewhat disappointed in you , What further context than an image showing the internal construction of a product leaving members to make their own minds up as to the value is required ?

As to how an accurate and true image can be inferred to support a  bias ? It is inanimate .

 I am referring to the RRP value relative to the materials and construction .

 You seem to be struggling with the basic concept that an accurate image intrinsically cannot represent a bias. 

And there we have it Dear Readers .... MC looses not a second to accuse any and all respondents who do not agree with his mantra whilst ***Pushing*** Townshend products in crying Foul , Snake Oil hater , Incapable of thinking or Understanding for oneself, Spoiler etc etc etc and yet he is the first to behave in exactly this way the second a product is mentioned that competes in any way with Townshend !!!

Oh The Hypocrisy 🙄
