Iso-Puck Question

For a CDP that weighs 30 lbs, would I bet better with 5 Iso-Puck Minis (each bears 6 lbs) or 3 Iso-Pucks (each bearing 20 lbs)?  So with the Mini's it would be at the suggested weight limit (unless I use 6, which would have max weight of 36 lbs) or half the weight max using the Iso-Pucks (30 of the 60 lbs).

Thoughts?

Thanks, and stay safe.

I use iso-mini's under my turntable (Rega P6) and they are very small. Now that I have seen and used them, I would not put 5 under my speakers which also weight around 30 pounds like yours. I would go to the bigger Iso-Pucks, despite the added cost.

Upgrade to Gala feet or use the big ones Gala sounds much better.

The cost is always at play; however, I'm also concerned about one being at the relative max weight allowance and the other only halfway there.  I'm picturing the halfway one like having a pogo stick made for a heavier user and having someone small and lightweight trying to use it.  Doesn't work well.  

The Gaia is for speaker use and suggested for screw in only.  On their site they suggest a different model for speakers without spike screws.  I think Orea was recommended for that purpose.  And of course Iso-Pucks for monitors.

Thanks, guys.
