Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components

@tsushima1

That isn’t a serious method of critiquing a product. There is a member on this very thread who has impressively demonstrated the measurable differences between a variety of such devices, and the Townshend are among the best.

Now, if you want to argue that the Nobsound represent better value, you would have a leg to stand on. But there is nothing about the build quality of the Townasend that suggests anything other than good design, and quality.

Anyone could tear down most expensive speakers and say "Look! These parts, by themselves, are not very expensive, therefore the product is very overpriced."

I’m with Miller on this one. tsushi’s repeated attempts to disparage the product are ridiculous, and the photos ostensibly used to support his position reflect poorly on him, not the manufacturer.

You really are obtuse. I'm saying that posting a photo of the innards of a product, and, without further context, suggesting that it is therefore overpriced, is dumb.

There is far more important and compelling evidence on this thread supporting the value of the product, and yet you have no answer beyond regurgitating your biased photos.

I don’t know how many different ways that I need to say this, but simply cutting open such a product and posing that question is a waste of everyone’s time.

The product works well, and better than those of most of its competitors. Trying to disparage them by arguing that the aggregate value of the individual parts is much lower than the retail price is dumb, as that largely meaningless game could be played with virtually all audio components.

You're disappointed in me? lmao!

What further context than an image showing the internal construction of a product leaving members to make their own minds up as to the value is required ?

The value of the design, as evidenced by how the product works!

As to how an accurate and true image can be inferred to support a  bias ? It is inanimate 

Surely you aren't that ignorant. Readers need only juxtapose your photos with those of millercarbon to see your obvious bias.

Looks good, @ryder !

Do let us know of your impressions of the Nobu, after you've had some time to listen.

@astolfor Thanks for your interesting data. I wonder how much different such measurements would be on hard tile or concrete floors, as opposed to suspended wood? In other words, in theory to benefits of isolation should be smaller on a hard floor, but I wonder if that would be reflected in measurements such as yours.

Interesting – thanks!
