Townshend Pods - How many do I actually need per component for max effectiveness?

Hello,

 

Experiences from actual users would be greatly appreciated. I have a phono preamp (28lbs), amp (100lbs), linestage (20lbs), and potentially a DAC (6 lbs) that I am looking to get pods for. 

 

Should I get 4 per component or would 3, or even 2 work just as well/better? If anyone can share their experiences with the pods and experimenting with the number they used and what it did to the sound, I’d be thankful.

Well, they sell the pods in boxes of 4, so that is the quantity I use.

And, if you require more weight, why not add it to the top of the component.

HRS makes plates to dampen chassis/cabinets. So, I don't see why you couldn't put a barbell weight instead.

HRS is a company I have been thinking of using. Good to know that their products might be equivalent to Townshend.

Did you ever try removing Pods and Footers to hear the difference?
