Isolation footers for ATC SCM100A

I had Herbies gliders for a while and they were good! But the Townshend seismic bars have changed everything. I actually compare it to Room treatments. I have some unfortunate wall heater grill, fireplace insert with sheet metal flashing that all resonate at various frequencies. The townshends muted all room effects even at much higher volumes. My 50 ASLT are rilling now! Happy Listening!

Recently there has been extensive coverage of Under Speaker Isolation in the Linked Thread.

If the footers in the Link are purchased to create a quantity of 12 Items, as a Set of 3 x Footers per tier, and used in conjunction with tiers made from Densified Wood Board, there is not much out there to improve on things at the purchase price.

An added bonus being the items purchased, 616 and if the board is bought direct and produced at a dimension suitable for other roles, i.e, a TT Plinth, will sell at another time with a full remuneration of the original outlay, the reality being a appreciated value when sold on. 

It is the road less travelled, but those who do this from the current Products in the Market Place are paying substantially more for what amounts to very little as a difference.

Started with Isoacoustics Gaias and wound up with Townshend podiums. Improvements both times.

Townsend Seismic Podiums, it must be so.  I’ve ATC 50 active.  Started with Isoacoustic Gaias, ended with Townsend.  The difference not staggering, but easily palpable.  You owe it to yourself.  Cheers

Well, for my LaScala lls the Townsend would have been about $2500 a pair. So I just purchased 2 sets of the Auva 70s after many reads. If anyone says the LaScala’s are base shy, they might be right considering their horn loaded, but I NEVER had a problem with the sound they produced. The Auva’s were set Fri. afternoon on 1 speaker, I let them sit for about a good 30 mins. while my tubes warmed up. I played some Mono Lps to see if I could hear the difference from either speaker & also used an SPL meter on each. The speaker with the Auva’s played an average of a 1/2 decibel louder, on all tracks. Then installed the other set.

I first notice the bass drum got tighter & the bass guitar also. (cleaner sound). I listened to some Rock, Jazz & some Classical & liked the change. Yesterday, after a good warmup, I listened to the same tracks as from Fri. this time from my Dac & from my tables. The base got larger & gelled with my Altec 311 horns, which before were a lil hot at times (but tolerable). Now with the lower cleaned up, not to much in the mids, but I introduced the Auva EQ’s under my preamp last week & noticed that on some tracks I swear I can hear the stick hit the snare drum. I’m glad I waited for Auva’s!
