Birch/black grills. These were professionally setup without using my Townsend podiums. They sound fantastic so I’m going to leave them as is for a couple hundred hours of burn in then I’ll put them on my podiums and evaluate them decoupled

My unit was Simaudio 650D and the “flats” that I used were the pads on an unused set of Rollerblock Jrs.

Was not able to try the factory feet because they are so near the corners that they extended outside the platform.

Nice system. Love my Podiums as well and these were the biggest revelation in all my years of audio.

Curious what you have between your gear and the Platforms. I was not able to use Rollerblocks, cones, Herbies footers, etc.

Only thing that worked was flat surfaced for max contact surface which rid the horrible resonances that were ruining the benefits of the Platform.
