IsoAcoustics speaker isolation stands...Thoughts

I have two pair.   Yes will make a clearly audible difference in many cases but not necessarily if speakers already rest on a rigid foundation.  

I use their Aperta stands under my monitors. They work great. 

smear is exactly the word one would use to describe intermodulation of the desired signal with an effect caused by movement of the entire speaker back & forth from the drivers (esp. bass) & is the reason people buy heavy stands or cones, etc. 

Dick Vandersteen used to tell buyers to fill his stands with sand or lead shot for this reason

No idea if this brand is better than any other tho

quite possible that the power of suggestion in the video could cause a difference in perception by a listener - that is why we do blind testing

The real solution to this problem is a dipole radiator ...

I have been very interested in their new GIIA (sp ?). My speakers sit on a suspended wood floor of poor quality which has had a very negative impact on sound, particularly bass response B&W 800D. These products decouple speaker from floor and help to eliminate floor impact. Similar to townsend audio seismic platforms. Unfortunately they are limited to 225 lbs and mine weigh 275. I am now using a phenolic crystal 5/8" thick square piece under each spike with significant benefit. 

I just ordered 10 isopucks from Crutchfield . Already have the gaiia 2 which has worked on tekton di , king sound ks17 stats . on concrete . Will report back when pucks are under my source and amp/pre .
