Anybody have both Herbie's Cone/Spike Pucks and isoacoustics gaia's


My Spatial Audio X5's sit on pieces of granite which sit on top of carpeting with a concrete floor under all of it. Am very happy with the performance I'm getting now but was thinking of getting some isoacoustic gaia's for my speakers because of all the positive feedback. Never heard of Herbie's audio products before I started in on my research of isoacoustics. I'm wondering if there spike pucks do the same thing as the gaia's do? There pricing is attractive. So I was hoping to hear from someone who may have had both and could give me there feedback.

Thanks, 
Steve

@gdnrbob: What I did was get sets of the Pods and install them on the stands Sound Anchors makes for the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeakers. The stand comes with 3 spikes, and the Pods can very easily be used in their place. The threading on the top of the Pod and in the bottom of the SA stand are different, so I located some adaptors that had the required threading on each end (ironically, provided with the IsoAcoustics GAIA’s ;-) .

Owners of loudspeakers with outrigger bases can do the same, and save some $. A set of Pods is considerably cheaper than the Townshend Podium. All models of the Pod (each model for a specific weight range) are the same price, unlike the GAIA 1, 2, and 3. A set of 4 Pods is less than a set of the GAIA 2, and far less than the GAIA 1.

Each "Pod" in the Townshend Audio Seismic products provides height-adjustability, great for leveling turntables and CD players. select-hifi on ebay is the place to buy them. The seller (John) is a fantastic guy to deal with.
