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 only used my homenmade devices and various materials sandwiches but it is my experience that each material will absorb in his own way some frequencies more than others and will couple with others materials in his own way too ...

I selected some various materials for their "timbre effect" ...

And the tuned damping load over the speakers too was very important for details by eliminating or decreasing resonance...

Then i think this sentence about different footers must be right :

I find each have their own impact on tonal balance.

Speakers vibrate and we are not conscious how it impede  the sound quality...

I was not before taking the right path... 😊

If my system worth was not only 1000 bucks i would be tempted by them because there exist only positive reviews...

The first one almost negative i read is this one :

The Townsend platforms were not beneficial in my system. Underneath my power amps I preferred my Magic Carpet base.With my speakers I preferred a more direct coupling to the floor.

Please will you describe the difference in sound quality between your actual devices and the Townsend platform a bit more ?

I myself use at peanuts cost my own solutions with stunning improvement anyway ...

But i cannot claim and will not that my devices will beat the costlier and probably more thoughtful Townsend...

Thanks for your answer... I am very curious.... If the Townsend is not always an improvement it may means that my own solution is enough anyway as it seems to me ... ( my solution is  tuned damping load on the speakers and a sandwich of 6 different materials)
