Speaker Isolation tweaks ?
Hi everyone,
I want to tweak my bookshelf speaker(Revival Atalante 3) isolation.So my speakers have small isolation feet attached to the speaker, which in turn just rests on top of my speaker stand. So technically not attached to the speaker stand. These are sand filled stands with adjustable spikes, resting on a hardwood floor. I currently use dimes underneath the spikes to prevent holes in my hardwood floors. So would something like the IsoAcoustics Gaia isolators work, by replacing my existing spikes with the Gaia isolators ? seems these are to be attached to floor standing speakers. If so, the Gaia iii is for speakers less then 40 lbs, but do you include the speaker stands ?
I kind of want to stay away from adhesives. Don't want to stain or mark up my speakers.
Anyway maybe people can share their thoughts on how they approach speaker isolation with bookshelf speakers on stands.
Cheers

@lanx0003 there is a saying: don't buy a Ford at the Ford dealership, buy it at Kia The latter will want to get rid of it fast and cheap. Audio equipment is like a wedding cake, it's the same cake but 10 times more expensive than a "cake". A piece of rubber for a furniture foot is $2, for a turntable it's $20. I think vibration control is the most insane part of audiophilia.... |
Once again I bought the ISO pucks. I didn't want any adhesive sticking to my speakers. These pucks have suction. So I'm going to put them underneath the speakers and stick with spikes and get feet for the spikes. I guess that is another discussion..... Spikes with feet on hardwood floors GOOD or BAD ? Maybe just a screw with a flat end instead of spiked end ? |
