Magico Pods vs Townshend Seismic Platforms

@rsf507  He is British. 

As usual don't know what the F pindic is saying! Oh well.

Being a "hard" interface, the Magicos won’t touch low frequencies

@mulveling Having been down a bit of a rabbit hole based on another thread recently, I couldn’t agree more. These look very nice and expensive. But I cannot see how from an engineering perspective they are going to improve the sound of any pair of speakers. The might change the sound, but that is another topic. Any potential vibration attenuation will occur as best I can tell at frequencies that will not benefit a speaker, as this is really needed in the lowest frequencies. And as @sargonicuse pointed out in the linked article, spikes are not isolation devices.

@rsf507 lol I always thought he was a bot. I read a sentence or two and then just give up and scroll to the next post. 

@goose can you tell me a little bit more about the impact of the isolation platforms? I'm in the exact same scenario and figured it's the cheaper option to isolate my turntable and gear, rather than trying to isolate each component from the speakers and suspended wood floors. My floors definitely impacted by my speakers. I have huge bass boom downstairs below my speakers and Herbie's helped to remove the boom and clean up sound, but I did loose a little bass. Or I guess it eliminated bloat and reverberation. I've been curious about moving up the the Townshends. 

As with anything audio, the only reliable way to form an opinion is to actually use a product in your own system.  Opinions by others looking from afar are meaningless.  I only trust my own ears in my system.
