Isolation feet and speaker stands

[Paulq2]

I have been looking at some of the Gaia III's and can only see a reference to them being used with floorstanding speakers. Anyone used, or know, if they can be used with Atacama Moseco 6 stands?

 

[John]

I don’t see why not, give them a try.

I have Gaia II's on my stands which hold hORNS FP10, which are 30 kgs each, works great.

I used Gaia II's under KEF reference stands but swapped for Townshend bars , definitely worth trying (Gaia) on floors trying to play it's own tune

 

[Rug Doc]

Yes I have Yamahas on stands with Gaias. The difference was clear.

 

[stecko]

I've also tested gaia III on stands and worked just perfect

I have Stack Audio AUVA 50's on my own Atacama SLX Stands supporting a pair of Harbeth Super HL5 Plus speakers. These are indeed excellent isolation feet. The critics reviews of them are spot on and they all seem to prefer them to Gaia's, in that they actually work better.

I have Gaia II and IIIs on Marten Duke 2 and Graham LS5/9 standmounts respectively. Marten standmounts come with isolators based on the Isoacoustics Gaia as an option.

I started with these:

but didn't really like how they look , worked nicely though
to these, not sure if they improved on Gaia but I like the looks way better :

but ended up with different speakers , still using Townshend bars :

Yes indeed the Stack Audio Auva 50’s are great, aren’t they! That’s what I have on my Atacama SLX stands, supporting Harbeth Super HL5 Plus speakers..

@Paulq2
I have 2 sets of Giai III and the matching carpet discs here doing nothing. PM me and you can give them a try for the cost of postage. If they do what you need them to then we can sort a price, if not just send them back.

May I ask if there's any difference in sound quality between the Soundcare Superspikes and Stack Audio Auva 50?

 

[ryder]

not sure if they improved on Gaia but I like the looks way better :

The Townshend bars look better than the Podiums to me but ultimately it's sound quality that matters most.

Are the podiums any better than the bars?

 

[slawekt]

The Townshend bars look better than the Podiums to me but ultimately it's sound quality that matters most.

Yes but podiums are colossal and I would not have a chance to install them in the same position ending with either speakers way too far apart , closer to the corners/front wall or too close to listening position.
I'm not certain it platforms are better or not as I never had a pair but word from Townshend was the only difference would be installation process but who knows

Sure, I would not leave them if it was not a worthwhile improvement. But Soundcare is a good value for money.

If you have a timber or laminate floor SoundCare SuperSpikes make moving the speakers easy.

It’s the same with those as small spikes are detachable
