Inside the Iso Acoustics mechanism

Gone back to hockey pucks under my gear and GAIA under the speakers. not going to fuss with springs any more. System sounds better with pucks.

After spending $1000 on Gaia 1’s, I’m not going to take them apart!

Same here on my Gaia 2. From the diagram provided by Isoacoustics, it appears that bolts are used inside the Gaias instead of springs. I’m not sure about the other parts that are used for the overall assembly of the Gaia though.

For me, the best way to judge whether Isoacoustics is worth the money is to (a) buy those cork/rubber feet first, for a fraction of the cost; (b) get the isoacoustics on a trial basis and then (c) compare.

@blueranger,

One of the mistakes I made while using the Gaias was to have the "granite" slab on carpet and the speakers+Gaias on these granites. Not good at all. You can see that on my system page where I have not the most recent pictures. I purchased the carpet spikes for the Gaias and the granites are not going back into that room. And the Gaias are not coming off those speakers.I love what the Gaias do in my system.

Thanks for sharing.

So do you think that the granite was just interfered with getting maximum performance of the Gaias or made the combination worse than just spikes on the bottom of the speakers?
