ISO Pucks with Harbeth and Sklyan Stands


I have Harbeth SLH5 Plus Anniversary speakers with Skylan 4
post stands. Currently using the Q-Bricks that came with the stands.
Wondering if anyone has tried ISO Pucks between the SLH5
(or any Harbeth speaker) and Skylan stands. What differences in
sound, if any, did you notice.

I've asked similar questions in the past, and there hasn't been a clear answer or any real unanimity.  (When is there?)

An interesting broader question is whether some kind of treatment between stand and floor is more important than between speaker and stand.  I saw a review of a Spendor Classic 1/2 where they'd gone the whole hog with Isoacoustics Gaias on the feet of the stand.
@ericsch   Keep an open mind.  Certain posters on here have an approach that one might describe as one size (solution) fits all.  Speakers--Moab; amplifier--Raven; cables--Synergistic; and so on and so forth.  You get the idea.
Although there is some true eccentricity over on the Harbeth Users Group site, there are also a couple of very useful threads where owners report on all kinds of solutions for the speaker/stand interface.
There's a world of complexity out there with stands for Harbeths.

There are open-topped stands, and stands with a flat platform.

There are metal stands, solid wood stands, and Skylan (MDF and polymer).

You can get standard offerings from established companies, or you can get custom stands made, in wood or metal.

There are any number of possible interfaces between stand and speaker, and likewise between stand and floor.

Herbies is definitely a good place to start.
