| Townsend springy platforms for my Sasha 2s, springs not ISOA GIAS, HRTs for electronics??? +1.Though I don't use the Podiums under my speakers, I do use them, Platforms and the Pods under my equipment- to great effect- tighter bass, and more articulation of the notes.Worth the money, IMHO.

| Should my next purchase be from a brick and mortar? @OP, Or, you could pick John Rutan's (audioconnection) brain.He has great advice and it's free.Bob | |

| Townshend Seismic Isolation Podium Platform Review: I find your review to be spot on to my experiences with Townshend products.The first is a 'tighter' bass, more articutaled.Second, is the 'cleaner' sound overall.And, though you might be able to make something comparable, the Townshend products ar... | |
| Ethernet cables I found the biggest difference between CAT 6 and 6a,7/8, is the foil grounding between the pairs.It never hurts to have electrical things grounded.Actually, it never hurts many things to be grounded -especially in fact.B | |
