Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers

Well I did fit the Gaia under my TT this afternoon and solid coupled using the m6 threads.

Right now I am not liking it too much, appear to have lost bass weight and authority and even gained what I would term some lower mid, upper bass "boom".

Now unfortunately the speakers are also relatively new so the change might be them as they change during break in period.

If no significant change in next few days I will first place speakers back on the carpet and not the platforms/spikes and Herbies they are now on.

Then pull the Gaia out from under the TT again and evaluate.

Ah well not every step can be a positive one. How we suffer for our art.....

😇😇

One aspect I did notice though was that noise somehow was reduced. By that I mean the background hiss with nothing playing was nearly totally absent, quite a reduction in all honesty.

No idea why that should be.

I posted elsewhere on the forum today that I am totally impressed with the SQ improvement with the GAIA III's under my Spatial Audio speakers for the reasons described above.  It is a pricey tweek ($684 with the carpet spikes), but it is a really significant improvement in the SQ of my system.  No question about it.  

Hey whitestix, which spatial model do you have?

I got the Gaia II for my ProAc D48R today and installed them a few minutes ago. The changes that I noticed were:relaxed presentation, sound stage expanded, pin point imaging, better definition of overall music. And stable sound stage - very noticeable. One important observation was - even at low volume there is details and you don’t have to strain to hear what is going on.
The thing that concerns me most is that, on the footers the speakers wobble when you push them. On spikes they were rock solid. Hopefully I will get used to this. But overall, I am glad that this tweak worked for me and the money is well spent.
