I use the GAIA II with carpet spikes under my GE Triton Refs Speakers. It takes an already great speaker to the next level and very highly recommended.
Wondering about using IsoAcoustics under by GoldenEar Triton One speakers
Anybody out there tried using vibration control tweaks under GE Triton One speakers? I have brass Maplewood brass spikes, lots of vibrapods..but after seeing PS Audio's video from RMAF I'm wondering if the final tweak is here are the IsoAcoustics pucks. Any advice /experience is sincerely appreciated!

I'm shopping myself and found this similar footer video illuminating. http://www.townshendaudio.com/hi-fi-home-cinema-equipment-vibration-isolation/hi-fi-home-cinema-vibr... |
Anybody out there tried using vibration control tweaks under GE Triton One speakers?What's your floor? If cement slab then just spike (couple) into it, don't worry about any BS vibration control. But if it's suspended wood or composite sheet, then you need to isolate (decouple) from it, so it doesn't act like a sound board for the bass. Cheers George |
The Townshend isolation video illustrates very clearly that isolation works even when the floor is a cement slab. This is because the quotidian Earth motion 🔝 is so powerful it moves the cement slab like it weighed nothing as well as the entire building. And because isolating speakers reduces cabinet vibration, allowing the speakers to produce a purer acoustic signal. Isolation systems are two-way systems 🔛 It’s two, two mints in one! 🤗 |
VPI’s Harry Wesifeld has GAIA feet under his KEF Blades, and highly recommends them. If you study the diagram of the structure of the GAIA on the IsoAcoustics website---which reveals the foot’s interior, you will see that any isolation it provides is only that by the thin piece of rubber that separates the top and bottom "plates" of the GAIA. Hardly hi-tech! The metal housing you see is just that---a metal housing. Might as well use one of the Herbie’s Audio labs products , or SIMS Navcom Silencers (if you can find some). Now watch the You Tube video wherein Max Townshend explains the design of his Seismic Pod, then demonstrates it’s effectiveness. THAT’S more like it! I’m not on the Townshend Audio payroll ;-) . |
