Splendid Isolation

What a weekend at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show.

The Cyrus Audio room featuring the outstanding 80 Series electronics, driving the remarkable K200 loudspeakers from Kerr Acoustic, mounted on beautifully engineered TheInTune stands and optimally decoupled with Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums.

That system went on to win Best Sound of the Show and took home the Golden Pig Award.

A serious result. Fully deserved.

Always a pleasure to be part of the system in the Sound Fowndations room.

The Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums were the link in a superb setup curated by Sound Fowndations, featuring the great-sounding TT-23 turntable from Soulines Turntables.

The performance in both rooms spoke for itself. Grip, scale, tonal balance and, most noticeably, clean, controlled bass that stayed composed at every level. When the speaker is properly decoupled, the floor stops talking and the music starts breathing.

“Wow,” just spent time at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show this weekend, and Kerr Acoustic's setup was absolutely stunning! Those K200 speakers (with that clever transmission-line magic) paired with Townshend Seismic Podiums delivered incredibly clean, immersive sound, with punchy bass from compact boxes, airy highs, and pinpoint imaging. The isolation from those podiums really let them shine. If you haven't heard them yet, make it a priority! "

The Audio Bargain of the Century: Townshend Allegri+ Passive Preamp!

December 23, 2025 (Pink Fish Media forum – Passive Pre discussion): "I'm certainly enjoying my first passive pre, an Allegri+ from Townshend. It brings more clarity than my active pre's, and the bass, often said to sound inferior with passives, is just as good if not better."

This passive autotransformer marvel strips away noise and colouration, revealing unprecedented transparency, dynamics, and musical flow at a fraction of the price.
One audiophile’s story says it all: “
Upgrade your system without breaking the bank—pure sonic bliss awaits!

"Checking ancient engineering precision at Stonehenge: Max Townshend teams up with the legendary Dilbert himself! 🪨📐✨

A fun Grok-generated tribute to two brilliant minds who loved shaking up the status quo—Max with his vibration-isolating wizardry at Townshend Audio, and Scott Adams, the patron saint of engineers, skewering corporate absurdity for decades.

RIP Scott Adams (Jan 13, 2026). Your wit lives on.

Dive into the world of Townshend Fractal Speaker Cables – where audio meets infinity! These cables let you hear detail within detail, like a never-ending fractal pattern unfolding in your music. The secret? Innovative geometry and a meticulous fractal treatment that’s costly and time-consuming to produce, but oh-so-worth it for that unparalleled musical enjoyment.
As reviewer Jason Kennedy raves in The Ear: “The transparency was immediately obvious and to a game changing degree that I have never encountered with cables… extraordinarily revealing… hearing stuff that I had never encountered before.” 
Perfect for elevating your hi-fi setup to new dimensions. Who’s tried them?

Kevin’s Upgraded Audio System: Townshend Seismic Podiums Transform the Soundstage
Kevin’s setup—with the Townshend Rock turntable, Allegri+ passive preamp, and now the addition of Seismic Isolation Podiums—has taken a leap into truly immersive territory. After just a week with these podiums, Kevin shares his unfiltered enthusiasm in a quote that’s as vivid as the 3D sound he’s describing:
“The podiums (along with the exceptional Alchris speakers) take my brain to another dimension… This Leftfield album literally sounds 3D. The sound is just present in the room. Just amazing. I’ve had these Townshend podiums for about a week. I have to say they are magical. I thought my system sounded fantastic, and I was apprehensive about putting them in in case I couldn’t hear the difference, but I needn’t have worried. The first thing I noticed was cleaning up the bass, but they do so much more. They take the music out of the system and present it in the room, in a 3D immersive experience. They do everything you’ve ever heard in a superlative, audiophile trope. Soundstage, imaging, detail, clarity, separation, highs, lows, mids, all enhanced.”
When Townshend’s seismic isolation eradicates phase distortion caused by vibrations, music transcends the speakers, blooming into a holographic 3D soundstage—as Shannon Dixon’s seminal Bad Vibes paper (Stereophile, 1995) elucidates, revealing how decoupling from floor-borne tremors restores pristine transients and spatial depth.
Experience the revolution in vibration control for yourself!
