I Pulled the Trigger on the Gaia IIIs. Another Very Positive Tweak! Next Up Schumann!

I have the Gaia IIIs installed on my Focal Aria 936s and the improvement is impressive. I can hear more harmonics in the bass strings and the mids are crystal clear. I am now waiting for delivery of my Schumann Generator. It must have been stuck in the Suez Canal. At least there isn’t as much risk with it. If it doesn’t improve the sound, maybe it will help me sleep better!

One can't say springs are as good as Gaia's if one hasn't compared them. Even you said as much not so long ago. You said you imagined or thought they were. As the conversation continues, you've now got them at equal performance. In a day or two, will the springs be better and cheaper? 🤔

All the best,

Good for you on the Gaia purchase! My experience with them mirrors yours. I have them under my speakers, subs, power amp, & dedicated transformer. Consistent improvement under all.

It is a weird wonderful improvement.  I assumed my ATC 40 actives would have integrated all the design bells and whistles to include optimal spikes for their product.  Wrong!  
Oh, it’s a great transducer in stock form.  However, nothing but improvement with the Gaia footers integrated with Gaia carpet spikes.  All areas of imaging, attack, dynamics and timbre are well served by this product.
