Townshend Seismic Isolation Podium


I understand the physics behind isolation and the sonic benefits that decoupling achieves, and I am seriously considering purchasing a set for my KEF R11’s. (I currently use an ISO Acoustic Aperta 300 for my R2c, as well as some older ISO-A stands for a set of LSX). I am wondering if anyone here has any experience with Townshend Podiums in particular, and can give a thumbs up or down. Thx !

I think the sound got worse because the cones were providing an  effective damping of internal equipment resonances.  Isolation would never have addressed that.  I agree with your observation and feel there is a place for both coupling and isolation applications.  I find BDR and Golden Sound DH cones to be very effective.  But I've also seen a nice positive impact from Gaia feet under my speakers.
