Stack Audio Auva speaker isolators


A set of used IcoAcoustics Gaia came up for sale.

Some Google searches later, I came upon this review by Hans Beekhuyzen comparing the Gaia to Stack Audio Auva. I’ve enjoyed his reviews.

This came up at the same time

Had discussions with Josh at Stack Audio about suitability with stand mounts and speaker stands.

Paid for a set of Auva70 today. Will evaluate at a later date.

I am sceptical of many things. How can that possibly make an audible difference? I’ve had to eat my words (or really, my thoughts) a few times.

The biggest was system supports. Had sorbothane and Vibrapods. Couldn’t really tell the difference. Four years ago, upgraded to Black Ravioli Pads. I was won over. Even better moving from Black Ravioli Pads to their Big Pads.

Same thing with the change in speaker stands to Sound Anchors. Scepticism has now been packed away, as the improvement is very noticeable.

Likely I will hear an improvement with the Stack Audio Auva as well.

I have recently purchased Auva 100s for my Wolf Von Langa SONs.  The increase in transparency and soundstage is incredible.  

I watched this video by the fellows at Alpha Audio had done and picked up the Primacoustic, Monitor rx-7 isolation pads for my Sonner speakers. Huge impact and a fraction of the cost of the other options on the market. 1:55.42 mark you pick up their test for the Primacoustic products. Not as aesthetically pleasing as the Auva 100’s but for me they are the kit. $270.00 for the pair and I am in audio haven, also my floor in a concrete slab in my listening space.

That's good news. I've only got a week to wait. Certainly curious the effect they have on stand mounts. The Sound Anchors stands I bought a couple of weeks ago are well thought of, and have certainly improved things.

Nice speakers you have.
