Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers

Replacing the spikes in my Soundocity outriggers (Soundocity made me a set of outriggers with threaded holes) with the Isoacoustics Gaia 2 footers has improved the sound of my Merlin VSM speakers.  They now sound more open and articulate than with any combination of Z-feet or other spikes, with or without outriggers, on the floor or on a platform, that I've tried.  Like the Townshend products the Gaia footers completely decouple the speakers from the floor, allowing them to float.  See:

If you are in the U.S., Crutchfield has a 30 day return policy . You could test them out .

Good idea. I may get both the Gaias and Pucks. Thanks!

I assume that the pucks are the ones you use for components.  Are they ready for purchase in the US yet?  Looking at a few options right now.

Yep ctsooner, Musician's Friend (Guitar Center's online store) has them in stock. Everyone is selling the 2-pack for $59.99 (ten bucks off list). MF has a sale going on right now, 17% off your order---no minimum, with free shipping. That puts the IsoAcoustic Puck at $50/pr. Each can support 20lbs., so three is enough for many pieces. Buy three 2-packs for $150, enough for two components weighing up to 60lbs. apiece. Not a bad deal, assuming they work!

I just got my ten Isopucks  two days ago . Just incredible !  Improvements are as others have experienced . I placed three under my macmini , two under my hard drive , Three under my digital amp , and two under my dac/pre . The imaging is clearer . Bass is improved especially at lower volumes . These things are a must use !  Now need to get a few more for my oppo 105 . Question , Do these improve video quality ? I have my video projector on a table .
