IsoAcoustics GAIA


I have IsoAcoustics GAIA II isolators installed on my Sonus faber Liuto floorstander speakers on hardwood floor. I expected some improvement and I got it. Bass is cleaned up and tightened. Stage became more clear because isolators removed a curtain made by unfocused, scattered bass. Floor and sofa vibrations almost disappeared completely. And... WAF is good. GAIAs passed my wife's inspection. Is there anybody with some experience regarding those isolators?

I had a little luck with my Gaia’s after replacing them with platforms. The threading for the speakers was identical to the threading on my amp stands. So, I removed the carpet spikes from the amps, replaced them with the Gaia’s and ordered some of the carpet spikes for the Gaia’s. 

The Gais's are one of the most expensive tweaks that I've tried. After installing them I had instant regrets; and, not because they were bad. My results were so good, that my regret was not trusting my instincts and trying them sooner.

Of course, they won't be this successful for everyone; but, the money back guarantee means that it's a no - lose situation.  

Been intrigued with all this stuff, really only played around with my turntable. 

My speakers are on cork/rubber blocks purchased from Amazon on the cheap. They do what you all are saying the Gais's are doing. Do you think they would be an improvement over what I got? 

My HT subs are on Hockey Pucks, works great for me. 

 

I like my 200 pound speakers with their casters. They’re on a solid wood floor. I see no need for these isolation things. Gotta be able to move the speakers around. I wish these isolation companies would come up with recessed casters as part of their offerings it would be a game changer .
