bdp 24 actually I talked to John at Townshend and he said the pods cannot be used underneath the speakers they're meant for electronics they're not made heavy enough.
First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s
On my KEF Reference 5’s.
While I normally hear little to no change with “Tweaks”, I installed them Saturday evening and found immediate spatial differences. Just about every album sounded more open. I told my wife, who helped me install the Gaia’s, that if I wasn’t wowed, I’d send them back.
The room has wall to wall carpet and pad on the floor and when I first received the Reference 5’s, they sounded flat. I put small hardwood flooring samples under them and it helped a little. I then put a small slab of granite under each of them and they became much nicer to listen to. I was quite surprised at the change.
The Gaia 1’s are sitting on the granite as well and so far, I’m very happy.
It’s only been a few days, but I’m pretty sure they are “hear” to stay.
Anyone else have similar experience’s with speaker. Isolation?

@havocman: How much do your speakers weigh?! The individual Pods are the same as the Pods that come on the Podium and Platform, available in six weight capacities, the "F" model Pod capable of supporting up to 50 kilograms. Four of the Pods can therefore support 200 kilograms (440 lbs.). If your loudspeakers weight more than that, I hope you have a concrete floor! By the way, I bought a bunch of sets of Pods from John (for my loudspeakers, turntables, CD player, phono and line stages, and power amps), and came up with the idea of using different capacity models on my loudspeakers’ Sound Anchors outrigger-style tripod base (the single rear Pod twice that of the two front Pods). Works great! |
@henry53 a couple of questions are the springs between the speakers and the blocks or between the blocks and the floor? Also what type of wood did you use?
