Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components
Feliz Navidad!!! to everyone from Badalona Spain.  @lemonhaze you are correct, if my math is correct modes for my room are   34.1Hz ,42.95 Hz ,54.84Hz,...,  The energy at 28.5Hz is a strange one, I will need to continue to move the subs around ...

@arafiq I am glad you found something that made a difference for good in your system. @millercarbon music is to be listened and enjoyed more than measured. What I am learning on this forum, is that people like to make opinions and believes  into ... 
Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers
I just can not understand the US market. You are having problems spending $13K, I had problems spending $150k until I gave up. My dealer in Spain was all too happy to get me what I wanted in a week. As for speakers I would seriously look at the T...

@millercarbon you are correct, either platform the Podiums or Credo will do a fantastic job. The Podiums get the prize in my opinion because the wide range for all kinds of speakers. I will try to make a comparison for components but for it to be...

I used Tannoy Kensington for speakers, I bought the podium you recommended. I told John David Hannant what speakers I had and I bought what he recommended.  The Credo, I bought with the EV Reference One a while ago, and I got the bases  shipped t... 
Best cost no object tube phono
What it might sound as an unfair comparison, I own a Manly Steelhead and when I compare it my CH P1 (one for each channel) with two X1 power supplies, I can’t stop getting amazed on how well the Steelhead sounds. Yes the CH P1 is better at everyt...

Why keep giving this gentleman/woman the time? He has no argument to present, beyond it is overpriced. Until he comes with a similar product that performs as good and cheaper there is no case argue. BTW, I just tested the solid-tech feet and come...

Interesting the Spanish version I read did not have this.  I am glad he did then

@tsushima1 First let me apologize for my English. At the end it does not matter what manufacturer claims and I do not care, because the measurable improvement cant be denied, at least by reasonable people. There are 2 objectionable factors t...

@grannyring I am sorry, my mistake.  
Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components
@grannyring I jus don’t understand what it is the point of cutting these open. They do what they claim to do and need to do. Are they expensive, yes but they work. Are overpriced? I do not think so, if they were there would be many other option...

@rsf507 I live in Spain, and I am half German, half Basque. I do not think the problem with support is a general problem. I think it is more of a USA, kind of thing.  I bought the Acoustic Signature because I have a good friend with an Ascona, wi...

I ended up with a Montana it has not arrived yet. The Typhoon I got had a problem with the speed switch which still after 2 months AS has not fixed so the dealer gave me a pretty decent deal on a Montana to make up for the nightmare the entire tra... 
Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components
@arafiq I would start by using the least amount of springs possible to keep at least 2.5-3mm in each individual set. For example. lets say that you will end up using 4, and that your tube amp has 2 transformers on the back left and not much on th... 
Brinkmann and Koetsu?
I loved the Zesto when I auditioned it but I bought a Steelhead because I kind of liked it better. It was the wrong move by any account. Dong get me wrong, the steelhead is incredible but much more less flexible, and higher noise floor. When I ge...
