Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components
No idea how they work Ozzy but the ad copy on their website is some of the silliest most impermeable word salad I've seen this side of Machina Dynamica. To wit:Gain, relative permittivity and the efficiency of electrical devices can be expressed a...

A sincere Thank You to AudiogoN members for the congeniality and sharing!

Raven Audio service - what's not to like?
Imaging depth and width is typical of improved caps. The sonic signature doesn't change, you just get more of what was there to begin with. More sophisticated subtle detail, mostly. Their in-house Raven caps are the single biggest difference betwe... 
Helholtz Resonators DIY Input
Rather than go into details it is better to first understand what is going on and why these things work at all. Because once you do understand then you will be able to answer all your questions. It is for example that I do understand the principle...
