The team building the Dolby Atmos sound system at Londons Leister Square London experienced some unwanted resonances from the mighty substack, after approaching the Townshend team to remedy the problem with a bespoke seismic support system that would handle the humungous moving mass with a isolation system. The rig consisted of 10 Professional Seismic Bars […]
I just received the platform for my VPI turntable. Thank you. Just a few comments… The construction is first-rate. It is a beautifully designed product. Prior to implementing your Townshend platform, I had tried a number of other isolation techniques. Butcher block, Vibrapods, etc etc. They all had some positive effects but I could not […]
Yes, Maximum. I don’t come up with the names, I just review the stuff, okay? 😉 And I got em because everyone keeps telling me I should, and once again they are right. Whew! That was easy! Kidding! We will now laboriously delve into why you cannot live without these tweeters, that you can’t even […]
I’ve been fascinated with the importance of vibration control for more than three decades now. A lot of my experience is already covered in Millercarbon’s Mega Vibration Control Journey https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/millercarbon-s-mega-vibration-control-journey The Journey ended with springs. Then I got Pods, and wrote Vibration Control and the Townshend Audio Seismic Pods https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/vibration-control-and-the-townshend-audio-seismic-pods Now as we continue our journey forward it is […]
When Townshend Audio launched the seismic podium back in 2016 it took the audio community in the U.K watch the ceremony highlight here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciGNptjaEVA
The Ear – The best of 2013 – Townshend Isolda Speaker CableThis is the speaker cable I have been using for some time but only got around to reviewing this year. I can’t find anything better and I have tried, nothing comes close when it comes to three dimensionality of soundstage and control, depth and […]
Max Townshend shows that by using these tests on any isolation setup, you can measure the amount of vibration entering your hifi. https://townshendaudio.com/seismic-isolation-tap-test/
Max Townshend is known for marketing impedance-matched speaker cables since 1978 and for challenging conventional wisdom in the field of audio cables and transmission line theory. He argues that transmission line effects can occur at audio frequencies, even with cables shorter than a wavelength at 20kHz. His reasoning is based on the idea that transmission […]
We love this non professional review on Audiogon from a customer who used our Seismic Platform: “Nearing the end of my journey to solve footfall & feedback issues in my small-room “home office” system with very bouncy floor and flexible walls. Turntable is the only source here — and it’s a Clearaudio Innovation Compact with […]
Turntable Isolation Journey “Nearing the end of my journey to solve footfall & feedback issues in my small-room “home office” system with very bouncy floor and flexible walls. Turntable is the only source here — and it’s a Clearaudio Innovation Compact with no suspension or special isolation feet. This system always sounded good, but was […]
