First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s

This is my experience too. I picked up some used B&W’s and sat them directly on the wood floor because the seller didn’t has the stock spikes. I went with Herbie’s Stud Gliders because $150 was more my speed and because these won’t be my forever speakers. The subwoofer saw a similar, dramatic improvement. This tweak is more than just a tweak.

In my limited experience, the only other tweaks that made this big of a difference were a reclocker between the streamer and DAC and a fiber optic run to isolate the HiFi from the dirty side of the network.

While the kit comes with three different size studs and nuts, they did not fit my KEF speakers for two different reasons. I called Isoacoustics and told them what I had and they told me I needed( 8m 1.0 long studs) and UPS dropped them on my doorstep five days later. 

All the best.

Placebo effect at it's best. I understand room, wall, ceiling, treatments will alter sound but never believe these products do anything but I am a skeptic in a lot of ways.

There are at least a couple of speaker manufacturers who are now fitting these as standard--i.e. when you buy the speaker, they're already in the box.  PSB is one of these, and PSB is definitely not what I would consider a tweaky brand.  So they must have their reasons.

+1 and +1 on the Gaias. Have the speaker version on a pair of 170lb each Tannoy Churchill’s and on my Sonus Fabers. I use the pucks under all my components. Awesome product, tightens the bass and adds a great deal of detail and precision  in the soundstage. Highly recommended and a great buy!
