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.

Actually Townshend recommends 4 per component. I asked the same question. With the spring system better balance is achieved with four especially with components where the weight isn’t distributed evenly.  They do have a twist adjustment for getting them level.

@drack1 I have them on my tube pre amp.  For me they didn't make as much of an improvement as the speaker podiums.  That being said, I was using HRS nimbus footers on my pre amp prior to the pods so the move wasn't from nothing to the pods.
