DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor

Utterly predictable responses from gk.

Moving on. The RMAF 2018 Isoacoustics demo is very impressive, and the difference is clearly audible even with youtube "fidelity" and computer speakers. Still, I am just a tiny bit suspicious. The nature of the "improvement" that I hear could also be achieved by nudging up the volume control a tad.

@blueranger   No, you got it wrong.  It's the speaker cables that you're supposed to suspend from the ceiling with monofilament.

Isolation doesn’t sound anything like nudging up the volume a bit. So you think It’s a giant conspiracy designed to suck the money out of naive and gullible audiophiles? You and Ethan Winer. I bet you didn’t predict I would say that.

1. Do Isoacoustics Gaias + cups isolate?

2. I didn't say that.  I said that via youtube and computer speakers that that was what the difference sounded like to me.  I wasn't in the room, nor, I suppose, were you.

It’s perhaps no obvious but the primary issue with isolating speakers is the center of gravity makes it very difficult or impossible to isolate big speakers with high center of gravity without resorting to making the arrangement of springs very wide, much wider than the footprint of the speaker cabinet. That’s why the Townshend speaker pods are integrated into an adjustable frame. Thus the springs can be located to the front and back of the speaker, increasing lateral stability so that the speakers won’t be so wobbly. For subwoofers or heavy components with relatively low centers of gravity springs can be placed directly under them without all the hoopla.
