MNPCTech footers?

bdp24:
Many sincere thanks for the extremely useful and informative posting! I really appreciate it!!
I used TipToes and - as you wrote - the aesthetics were atrocious. I was able to achieve perfect leveling with the combo of the TipToes and the Blue Tack putty. I’m one degree off (not important, I’ve been informed) with the MNPCTech feet installed. I wish I’d asked this question a couple of weeks ago, though!

Regarding the IsoAcoustics GAIA III suspension footers, how much technical expertise is required to install them and do you know if comprehensible, step-by-step instructions are available? Are those the same feet as the isolation feet for speakers (on Amazon)?

Thanks again!!
Keith

bdp24,
Thanks for the update. Pardon (again) my obtuseness but permit me 4 points of clarification:
1)  Do these GAIA III replace the MNPCTech feet as supports for the turntable chassis (i.e., do they screw into the holes in each of the 4 corners of the turntable base and serve as "feet" for the chassis to rest on)?

2)  Or, are the GAIA III inserted somewhere else in the turntable under-carraige?

3)  If they are replacing some sort of spring, do the MNPCTech feet continue to support the entire turntable chassis?
4) And finally, are the GAIA III items you're referring to the speaker feet listed for $199 on amazon.com or are they some other GAIA item I didn't see when I searched the site for GAIA III?
Thanks in advance,Keith

Just a moment ago, I also found an entire thread on the VPI Forum on this topic. Here is a sample posting:

Update-

IsoAcoustics is now making the 10-32 threaded inserts for the GAIA 3. Contacting IsoAcoustics directly is the only way to get quick, professional and comprehensive customer service. Sean at IsoAcoustics is very helpful, considerate and totally dedicated to helping customers!

Use the contact page, despite how retailers or others may direct customers to the distributor. (I have Sean's contact info if any are having issues.) They are currently making stock of the 10-32 locking threads for use with the HW-19 and will ship in the coming month or so.

The Herbie's Audio Lab suspension kit (XFirm, Regular height Tenderfeet with HE Booster Base- 38mm /1.5 inches total internal height as a replacement for VPI Isolators / sprung suspension ) should be here shortly.

Many sincere thanks for that information! Maybe an optimal combination (especially since I've already purchased and installed the MNPCTech feet on the 4 corners of the turntable chassis) is to buy a set of the GAIA speaker feet and use them in place of the suspension springs inside the base. I'll look for Art Dudley's article and - if the instructions are absolutely idiot-proof (as applies to me!) - I'll give them a try!
Thanks again,Keith

Thanks!
