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.

Has anyone actually physically  checked to see any vibration in their speakers with no music playing and with music playing before using the podiums?

I checked my speakers last weekend. I used a dial indicator on top of the speaker. I checked with no music first to see if there were any environmental vibrations or any other causes. Zero movement on the dial. Then I stomped around within 3 feet of the speaker and got a .002-.003 movement. This  seems like nothing really but since I don’t stomp while listening I figured I’m ok. The last measurement was with music on with 85 db peaks. The only movement worth noting came with the bass notes only. There was a movement of .006-.007 which again seems very good to me. My system is in the basement on concrete. It would be interesting to see what the movement would be on podiums. I may try some in the future to see.
