IsoAcoustics Gaia Footers AND Townshend Seismic Podiums


This might sound counterintuitive, but has anyone tested whether having IsoAcoustics Gaia footers ON TOP of Townshend podiums make any improvement, or at least do not degrade the sonics compared to using the Townshend podiums on their own?

I just got the Townshend podiums and already have Gaia I footers on my T+A Solitaire S 530 speakers. I am too lazy to go back to the stock feet so now I have the Gaia between the speaker and the podiums.

I’ve seen a lot of discussions of IsoAcoustics and Townshend in the same thread but have yet to come across anyone who has tried using both at the same time.

Two springs in series becomes a very complicated physics problem to solve (not unsolvable, but not easy).  The solution can have higher peaks and valleys and some un-expected harmonics and singularities.

I think the Townsend springs will dominate but don't know enough about the Gaia to be sure.

Townsend podiums are actually engineered for their weight range rather than just guess what spring constant to use.  So I would think you're better off with just the townshends.
