So, “Audio Science Review” really doesn’t like this video

There is a recent video by Steve Guttenberg’s friend Mark on speaker isolation devices. In the video, Mark uses informal listening observations and a microphone and software to try to distinguish differences between different isolation devices with inconclusive results. He then resorts to a blind ABX test with an interesting control related to speaker position.

I really like it for several reasons. One, it is well produced and dryly funny.  Two, it shows a promising approach to blind ABX testing.  I am also in the market for speaker isolation devices.

I posted it on this forum yesterday highlighting the ABX element and nobody commented.  I also posted it on Audio Science Review where it prompted a page plus of discussion including the forum host Amir, most of it skeptical, and then today it was pulled from the site.  The mic drop seemed to really irritate some people there. Or I don’t know, maybe it was something in one of my posts in reply - l’ll never know now.

I am curious what folks on Agon think about the subject matter, the approach and the production values of the video.

IMO, i am a believer of the Iso acoustics pucks or isolation feet. In my particular case, the improvements i heard was predominant when i was using it with my Falcon Gold Badge LS35a. i don't have floor standers  so no comment on that.

I was skeptical so I did a blind test A/B test with the wifey and she too notice a change on the spatial and overall dynamics. Obviously these are Subtle changes !! but there is something different and we both like what it brings to the sound. 

regarding the video,  i saw that a few days ago and , hmm.. we all have opinions and comments. lets leave it that way. 

In summary, I believe in what Iso Acoutics brings to the table. since that small revelation i got from using it to isolate the LS35a from the stands, I have used it now on my ATC speakers and also used it to isolate the LTA Microzotl Pre and VPI Prime table
