GAIA II

These are a revelation!!!! They have successfully decoupled my floor standing speaks from the (original) wooden floorboards they sit on and the bass has improved significantly! No longer is it as dominant as before and the balance and soundstage have improved! Worth considering if you find your physical environment is negatively impacting the performance of your speakers and especially if suffering from too much or uncontrolled bass. They are not cheap ... but the improvement is more than worth the money!!

I am absolutely blown away with what they did to my set-up. I have upgraded many components in my Hi-Fi system but this is absolutely the best one. I keep listening all my favourite albums again. I was blaming my room acoustics as we have concrete floor for not great listening experience. Did a lot to minimise the reflection but got to the point I decided to give up and than I thought let's try Gaia's as I can always send them back. They are not cheap but for what they did I think they worth every penny spent on them. The sound is just amazing, separation between instruments is great, nice tight bass (not muddled anymore) and I can listen just more details and I don't get listening fatigue anymore. I feel like I have upgraded the speakers. And the last thing they look stunning 👍

I was recommended to try these by my local hi-fi dealer after purchasing new B&W702S3. I read rave reviews about the effects of these but was sceptical given the price. I went for the Gaia III since my speakers were only 1kg "over the limit" before having to spend another £200 for two sets of Gaia II. Only downside was that I had to order the appropriate threaded connectors from Futuresounds as none of the 'standard' ones supplied by Isoacoustics fitted - would have been nice to be able to select the appropriate fittings free of charge when purchasing, not having to pay an additional fee to get them to fit. Anyhow, on to the important bit. If you have hard floors and are happy with the speaker positioning then I suggest you mark it up beforehand because once fitted & in position they don't want to move! I thought my speakers sounded good beforehand but adding these tightened the bass and consequently improved the soundstage and clarity of the sound (speakers were previously on B&W supplied feet). I played tracks that I had used for the original demo and immediately knew I would be keeping the Gaias. Highly recommended if you have good quality speakers.

So I was researching various isolation feet for my Q Acoustics Concept 50 towers and I came across these Gaia 3 form Iso Acoustics. I read many, many reviews and the common thread was that these have a dramatic effect on the sound of the speakers. At nearly £400 for a set of 8, it was a considerable purchase for what could be just snake oil. But I was blown away with the dramatic effect these really do have of the overall sound of my system. Very open, transparent and full of life. Incredible bass. You could literally shut your eyes and hear an A/B difference. I wouldnt even say it was a slight difference but it's huge. If you are sitting on the fence then don't, it's worth getting them and taking advantage of Amazon's return policy for 30 days. All I can say is that I will not be returning these. They are staying firmly on my speakers. The only negative thing I could say was in the setup process having to have the logo facing forward in order for the pads to work correctly as they are directional. But once you set them up that's it. You won't need to do it again. Overall I would give these a 10/10 relating. Very pleased.

This upgrade with my PMC speakers, has been nothing short of phenomenal! Could describe the improvement to clarity separation, bass control, but better just to say that they allow the speakers to just sound right, as though liberating the full potential of the speakers. Maybe the suspended wooden floor was adversely effecting the sound, but these simple though good looking isolators have brought about a huge improvement. The upgrade has been on a par with a very costly power supply upgrade for my turntable. They’re that good! Extremely highly recommended accessory. The hype was right!!

How can screw in lumps of metal make your hifi sound even slightly better. I have no idea but they really do. I bought two sets through Amazon just to try, knowing that if this was all a bit rubbish then I could return them. I screwed them to my Partington dreadnought stands and waited for the first track to play with nothing but doubt. They make the sound much richer. More focus on vocals and instruments. A hugely more dynamic sound, much more bass. Soundstage is wider. No problem recommending them. They are expensive, but if you are finding your system a bit flat sounding then try them. They work. Cheaper than upgrading.

Muy buena calidad

Installés sur colonnes Focal, et ... plus de volumes. Le son est excellent, aérien...

Bought these the GAIA III isolation feet for my Tannoy Turnberry speakers as an upgrade to the stock plastic footers. Pros: - Solid construction - Fairly easy to install Cons: - Expensive for what they are Overall, I would consider these an upgrade to stock footers or spikes, and they provide decent isolation.

I wasn't as shocked as some of the reviewers since I kind of already knew what to expect. I previously bought IsoAcoustics Aperta 200 stands for my desktop LS50's and was completely blown away so I expected similar results from the GAIA III feet. With the GAIA III's I got even more impressive results but that might be partly due to the fact that they went into a higher end system than my desktop setup. I have never gotten such a huge improvement in sound with this "cheap" of an investment. I put "cheap" in quotations because upgrading my speakers cables to an $1800 pair made a tremendous improvement in clarity and soundstage but don't hold a candle to the improvements that the GAIA III's brought. Apologies for the buzzwords but after adding the GAIA's I got crazy holographic sound imaging. The improvement in soundstage is unbelievable and undeniable. A second veil was lifted from my speakers. I experienced this "veil" lifting when I upgraded my speaker cables but the improvement with the GAIA's was even more drastic and at less than 1/4 the cost. There is a new level of clarity to the sound and upon listening to Beck's "Sea Change" album I was hearing parts of the song (instrument separation) that I previously had not noticed. It was the same "WOW" feeling I got when I upgraded my headphones from Beyerdynamic DT770's to Sennheiser HD800's. They removed a bloated bass problem that I thought was just poor room acoustics. Overall, the low end became really tight and focused sounding and there was a boominess that I used to get when sitting in the back of the room that is no longer there. Another benefit that I didn't expect was how much larger they made the "sweet spot". To get the best sound I used to have to sit dead center between my speakers about 6 feet from the rear wall. Moving forward, backwards, or to the sides as little as 1 foot really killed the soundstage. Now I can sit around 5 feet off center from the sweet spot in every direction but forward and it sounds almost as good as being dead center. This has made listening way more convenient since I have more freedom with where I sit without really compromising the sound. They also caused a significant improvement when watching movies. Before you definitely knew you were watching movies on a 2-channel system. The dialogue would get lost in the mix sometimes so I would always watch movies with subtitles. Now it sounds almost as if I've got a center channel installed when watching movies. Dialogue is so clear now that I can finally lose the subtitles. TLDR: Just try them! As long as the seller is "fulfilled by Amazon" you're protected by Amazon's gracious 30-day return policy. This allows you a no-risk demo of them and if you aren't blown away like every other reviewer you can always send them back with free return shipping and get a full refund. There's really no excuse not to try them with that 30-day return policy on the table. With so much snake oil in the audio world it's easy to be skeptical of products that promise big results but this is one product that I can say with 100% certainty is completely snake oil free. I've gotten big improvements from speaker cables but at great cost. I've spent hundreds on interconnects too with negligible results. The GAIA's and the Aperta 200's though... just WOW!

I am usually skeptical about buying audiophile accessories and did question whether adding a set of GAIA II would cause a significant uplift in the sonic performance of my Focal Aria 936 floor-standing speakers. After reading several reviews and finding out that that GAIA received an EISA award finally gave me sufficient reason to buy the product to test it out in my own home. To my delight, I immediate detected an improvement to my stereo system after installing the GAIA II. The bass was noticeably tighter than before. The middle and higher frequencies also sounded cleaner. This product is certainly a worthwhile upgrade as it made my stereo system sound more resolved. As much as I would like to see competing products all lower prices on the market I have not yet found any. To spend US$600 on a set of "rubber feet" to support a pair of US$4,000 speakers did challenge my previous thinking a bit. What I have learnt in this instance is that one does not know what the performance gaps are in a systems until certain components a swapped out and the change in output is observed.
