Townshend Pods under TT Don’t Do

@mulveling thanks for resurrecting this thread.  You make several really good points.  My main listening room is in a wood framed house above the garage.  Someone using the garage door makes for  loud noises, but doesn't induce any skipping.  The basement setup is on a concrete slab, but I place the TT atop a 5 shelf Quadrispire stand due to space limitations and concerns about my largish dog's tail.  I don't find the non-optimal setup issues to be of much concern.

If your TT skips because of loud music, i can only think it's been placed in bass peak mode area and/or you're playing music really, really loud.

Could be my sample size, but I don't see many wall mounted TTs in the virtual system section.  For me I find wall mounting just a little too permanent.  About once a year I rearrange equipment just for the sake of it.  A wall mounted TT would really limit my options.

Where are all the deleterious footfalls coming from when you play music?  Again, going back to the virtual systems, not too many of us look like they have a dance floor in the listening room.
