I bought one of these a lot cheaper than advertised and figured nothing ventured nothing gained. I'm not about to spout several thousand words detailing every nuance but I made a fewnotes which just about summed up what the Seismic stand brought to my highly modded Technics 1210. The stood on a 30mm thick IKEA bamboo chopping board which TBF added a lot of what the Townshend seismic stand added, the Townshend moved things up another notch. So here goes, brief as it may be....
Not night and day, it's subtle.
Slightly faster presentation.
Improved heft and bass attack.
Vocals appears a little clearer.
More space between instruments.
Easier to follow the mix.
Overall presentation much more detail.
Smaller details seem to leap out. A good example of this being a very slight echo on the last bass notes of Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden. Never had that before.
Overall, a worthwhile purchase.

Just thought I'd mention I have no link to this business. You can actually make up a cheaper version if you source some pods and and a piece of Corian.

Thanks for that, strangely enough I couldn't find a photo of it when I looked

I got my bars through hi-fihouse on eBay They got delivered direct from Townshend though. So he’s obviously commission selling. Does mean that reduced prices are often available

Same seller has 4 pods for £325 As I’m considering experimenting under my Technics if it’d be worth just putting pods under rather than a platform. Mind you.. not even sure it’s worth the bother

I’m more inclined to try a wall shelf first, in fact I’m in the process of designing one now.
