IsoAcoustics - A Class Act
I just put some Gaia II’s on my Marten Django’s. The improvement in bass and mid-range is dramatic. My floors were picking up a lot of resonance with the stock feet and that is all gone now. I am blown away how much of a difference they make. Deco... 
Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment
I put Isoacoustics Gaia II feet on my Marten Django speakers. The difference from stock feet is nothing short of mind blowing. My floor was picking up a lot of resonance and that is all gone now. The result is tighter bass and midrange or just the...

Review: Red Dragon Audio M500 MKII Amplifier
The price is the great news at $799 each or $1,099 for the 1,000 watt! version. I would call them very neutral - they will give you what is there without any color that I can discern. Due to the great dynamics you will hear every little nuance on ...
