Townshend Isolation Products.

Update on the Townshend platform: initially the wrong cells were installed on the platform per the weight of the turntable. I was then sent a set of the corner platforms for my rack. This was the solution to a number of problems. My footfall issues are gone and the overall sound has improved with a quieter background and a wider soundstage. my entire system has seemed to benefit from the corners. I have moved the platform over to my DAC. I am so astounded by the benefits of the platform and corners, I have ordered the podiums to go under my speakers. I'm totally bought in to the benefits of the Townshend isolation products. A huge shoutout to John Davis Hannant for his tireless customer service and his dedication in getting me the solution I needed.

I use their speaker platforms.  Physics says to isolate your equipment use springs with the proper k factor and length to damp all vibrations.  Townshend is IMHO the best supplier to do those calculations to match your mass.

Breaking news (anyway, experience from last night).  

I bought new speakers.  they sounded excellent on my Townsend platforms.  I took them off to try them coupled to the floor and while they were off I ordered some new feet for them.  they stayed on the floor a few days and just seemed to get harsher and harsher.  I thought "what have I done, my ears are starting to hear the harshness now.  these speakers will have to go."   

Last night I put them back on the platforms and I haven't heard a single harsh note since.  I was reminded how pleasantly surprised I was when I put the platforms under my old speakers.   One of the major tweeks I've made--at least major results.
