Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components


I installed a set of Isoacoustics Gaia 2s on my speakers about a month ago and was extremely pleased with them. I'm now curious about the Oreas.

My components are currently placed on a good rack with Finite Elemente Cerabase footers at the bottom of the rack. I was wondering if individual isolators such as the Orea or Seismic Pod placed under components can further improve sound quality. I've read contradictory comments about the Orea. Some say they brought an appreciable difference when placed under components such as DAC or amplifiers. Some say they bring nothing to the sound, zero difference.

I would appreciate experiences on the Isoacoustics Orea or the Townshend Seismic Pod, or the comparison between the two products. The Oreas look better than the Pods to me although the latter may be costlier.

@arafiq I have 4 and 4 with my X200 and sounds great. Yes slightly more compressed in the rear but it works.

@tsushima1 you are what we call a putz here in Chicago. Really you should head back to ASR or did they boot you too?

I am a Quantum Fuse Bot.

@tsushima1 I will take that as a compliment.

You are, you're.

Happy Christmas you cranky old sod. :)

I have a combination of Nobesound Springs and the Oreas under my gear. The prints under my X200 the Oreas under my DAC Transport and Turntable. They work great at isolation and the sound is great. Also my speakers QLN 3s came with Oreas. 
They do their job all of them.
