Default IsoAcoustics GAIA Titan Theis

I own IsoAcoustics and Stillpoints. You get what you pay for. Over a number of years, I have gone from stillpoints to IsoAcoustics to now back to Stillpoints. IMO, for components nothing compares with Stillpoints. Not even close. Under speakers, I feel it all depends, I have had mixed responses with Ultra SS, Ultra 5, and Gaia I when used on carpet, with different speakers (Wilson, Dyn). Totally different experience on hard tile flooring. I never experimented with a granite slab under speakers on carpet maybe that would help the aftermarket footers on carpet. dunno.

Interesting point you make, j3brow. Components usually sit on shelves, which are hard. I don’t know of anyone putting carpet tiles underneath their components.

Working on a demo “at home”. Between Stillpoints Ultra 5 and IsoAcoustics Gaia Theis...hope all works out.

Default IsoAcoustics GAIA Titan Theis

The Stillpoints Ultra 5 are installed on the Proac Response D100.

Unfortunately, no M6 threadsize was available for the IsoAcoustics demo set.

There is definitely a change with the Stillpoints...but before sharing my thoughts...more listening [emoji443]

Townshend podiums are inbound.

As this story continues with a focus on Stillpoints Ultra 5's I have started a new thread.
