Magico Pods vs Townshend Seismic Platforms

Weird. Posts saying isolation on speakers don't make a difference. It does on mine. Actually isolation under most of my components make a significant difference.  I guess this discussion is no different than the ones about cables and fuses... Everything makes a difference in my house of stereo.

@ghdprentice George, I likewise have my speakers resting on a concrete slab (wood flooring on top). I am being inspired by you to consider installing a seismometer on my floor for vibration monitoring! I should try vibration control here, though the Townsends are pricey for me. I do use Stillpoints underneath my electronics. 

This 2022 study by a professional audio engineer specifically regards the efficacy of spikes as a loudspeaker isolation device, however, the study includes tests, measurements, and graphs illustrating a number of findings that are broadly relevant to this discussion:

Ten Misconceptions about Loudspeaker Spikes

Not only do you get to monitor your own environment. But you join thousands of other siesmographs and can track events from seismograph to seismograph. Great tools are included. 

A Manufacturer usually had a Sales Spiel and Makes Claims for a Product being quite suitable for a Particular Role.

I have a Analogue Source > Range of Phonostages Options and furthest Downstream I have ESL Speakers and a Selection of Cabinet Speakers to use in a variety of configurations.

For the Analogue Source currently used, I moved on from AT 616 Pneumatic Separators to SolidTech 'Feet of Silence' as the Top Tier of Separators in contact with the TT Plinth.

 AT 616 Pneumatic Separators are also used under Cabinet Speakers as the Top Tier on Sub Support Assembly.

I am a user of a Product that is being made known can be easily identified and sourced as a purchase if wanted, I had no complication buying both types and one type I have purchased on a few occasions to increase the qty owned.

I have no vested interest in any product mentioned, and no communication with any commercial entity that makes these products available. 

My attraction to a Product is made known as a result of an experience had and an impression made, I have nothing for sale or nothing to be offered to me as a gratuity for encouraging a sale.

My reports are not related in any way to Puffery and are certainly not Shilling.

When an individual is making inroads to finding ways to manage Migrating Amplitude and is buying into products where an outcome is that a discovery is  something that has a impact on the End Sound experienced that is perceived as a Betterment in their unique environment and formed space for Kinetic Energy to move in. When taking the time to be helpful and make a report to others with inquiries, where does the misinforming come into it.  

When others do similar, and are with sound experiences in assessing sound, in a report made, where does the misinforming come into it.        

My experiences, as a result of loaning Separation Devices into a range of systems has led me to the place, where I am convinced there is not a ubiquitous methodology to Tame Amplitude in a Particular Environment and Space.

I am friends with quite a few who use Townsend - Gaia - Stack Audio 50 > 70.

Through association I know even more who use Townsend - Gaia.

I would not suggest to any, they may have an ancillary used as a Separator that is not a benefit to the End Sound produced in their Environment and Space for listening to replayed recorded music.
