Can this vibration isolator Iso Puck Mini support my ATC SCM 11?


Hi , wonder anyone come across Isoacoustics ISO-PUCK Mini ?  My speaker ATC SCM 11 (bookshelf speaker on speaker stand) is around 24.25lb each, from ISO Puck mini spec, each can support 6lb, will this isolator fit to support ?

 ISO Puck (20lb each) is way above my budget, and I doubt 2pc is a balanced configuration ... Your suggestion is appreciated.

Hi @lanx0003 thanks for your sharing and reply. I received my puck mini yesterday and placed them over the edge (perimeter) of speaker stand to maximize the spread out of speaker load with uniformity.

 After some auditioning, It is obvious the soundstage has changed, more refine and detail mid and treble with clarity tones, but I find the bass too has been reduced, some tracks are acceptable but some may not to be my liking. 

I would listen to more genres especially jazz, classical if I will let puck mini stay below speaker or I would transfer these isolation feet to support my preamp (8kg) and streamer (3.5kg).

Op,

When I experiment with spring isolator (by Nobsound), I found the bass is reduced too so I returned them. Rubber feet / drum pads actually perform much better in that regard. Noted that rubber feet will still transfer some bass energy to the stands so they are not an ideal decoupler. But, with gel pads, you felt almost nothing on the stands. I actually stack up two gels to support each corner of the speaker and they do not compromise the bass weight. It is hard to explain the physical rationale behind it... Darko briefly mentioned about them in his channel so I went with it and no regret ever since...

It is also interesting that you found the SS has changed. In what way? Wider, deeper, taller?

@lanx0003 

Interesting, I used to half cut squash ball as isolation pad for my previous bookshelf speaker AE Evo One many years ago... I may try again one day.

On the sound change, the depth/width remain unchanged, the clarity of mid to treble frequencies (vocal) are clearer and refine, most likely as the bass has been reduced.   

And I have been auditioning for the past few days, and slowly adapt to the "burn-in" brain , most of the tracks/songs are good with Puck Mini.
