Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
@mcondo ,I had the speaker on the spikes that came with them, supported by Herbie Audio Hush Puckies. I was actually sold on the Gaias from a 2017 AXPONA demo. $ was an issue then. So I waited for a good deal to come by. Which ProAcs do you have? ... 
Isotek Sigmas or PS Audio P15
@flip49er,You should really try out a Inakustik AC-3500P. It positively changed my system.  
What is your top priority items on Black Friday Sale.
Mine was supposed to be Gaia II footers. But I found on Amazon, there were 2 dealers who had only 1 set each of the footers. So they discounted it better than Black Friday. I did not think twice and purchased 1 from one dealer and another from the... 
Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
Listening to Beatles Past Master Disc 1, "This Boy". Very very strange that the right vocals seems to come from 2 feet (on the right) beyond the speakers and couple of feet behind. But the music (no vocals) from the left speaker seems to come thou... 
Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
Forgot to mention that I do not have the spikes. The footers are on a thick granite slab. They have suction-like property. Once placed on the granite, you have to pull up the speakers hard. The footers then come off the granite with a "pop" sound.... 
Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
I got the Gaia II for my ProAc D48R today and installed them a few minutes ago. The changes that I noticed were:relaxed presentation, sound stage expanded, pin point imaging, better definition of overall music. And stable sound stage - very notice... 
Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??
@rja ,I had a similar concern when I got this power conditioner and began using it. I had reached out to the dealer and he mentioned that the manual inside is a European manual and that statement does not apply to the US model.Yeah, I wish they ha... 
Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??
@fiza,What conditioner do you currently own? Get both and return the one that did not work for you. 
Backert Labs Rhumba preamp
@kineticaudio,The output impedance of Rhumba is a low 75 ohms. Based on what @almarg once told me, this will match with your Bryston 4B3 amp, which has an input impedance of 30k Ohms. Check this thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/imp... 
Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs
@jafant ,After I added the power conditioner, I have decided to stick with my Oppo. It sounds much much different (for the better) now. That upgrade has fallen off my priority list. 
Who uses power conditioning?
@hm1,I wish I could afford the LS-4004. The Inakustik power conditioner is what I use and has transformed my system. I don't think I can go back "direct to wall".  
Funny thing happened after my neighbor moved.
@shkong78,Try out a Inakustik power conditioner and forget all the neighbors. This thing kills noise. You system will sound amazing. At least that is my experience. 
Who needs a Preamp??
@ atmasphere,I have to agree with you on the bass. After using a passive for 9 years, I can say with experience, that bass is pretty light with a passive. My current preamp has a bass that the passive simply could not match. Dynamics is something... 
Looking to introduce some tube magic to my system
@zigggi,I was in the same situation as you almost 2 years ago. No experience in tubes and wanted to try tubes. After researching a lot and getting opinions on this forum, I decided to go with the Bracket Labs Rhumba. I am very happy with this prea... 
Is it safe to buy from Audiogon sellers?
@faust168,The first thing you need to do is check the seller's feedback. If the person has 90% or more feedback, you can (kind of) assume it as safe.The last equipment I sold was to a guy in Hong Kong. When he initially wanted to buy, I refused to...
