GAIA II

MOTHER OF GOD what an improvement. I have excellent quality cables, power filtering, an audio grade outlet and room treatments which all together combine to produce excellent sound quality. However there was a layer of haze I just couldn't get rid of no matter what I tried. Particularly in the low end area. These gorgeous little feet got rid of that layer while cleaning up the entire atmosphere more than I could have possibly imagined. The largest immediately noticeable effect was the taming of bass bloating and low end clarity. I'm taking clarity like never before. Clarity like my speakers magically grew an additional transducer. The bass clean up was also noticed by my father who lives below me. He reported the low end vibrations and noise have nearly been completely removed. That alone is a powerful point for the Gaia III effect. I don't want to go on and on about enhanced audio quality that you reading this have no real meter to gauge these improvements on, nor what the sound quality was before the Gaia III, but I will strongly recommend these feet for your tower speakers no matter what their price point might be. If anything these feet might be better suited for typical consumer tower speakers as opposed to exotic tower speakers being that less attention has gone into a typical pair of towers to eliminate internal distortions, excess vibrations, bass bloating, midrange smearing etc. It is here the the Gaia III can really strut their stuff with lots to chew on if know what I mean. I have these feet on my JBL Studio 190 towers which while current ( before everybody shunned them for their appearance without ever listening to them ) cost just $100 more than the Gaia III feet do. The Gaia III feet have been the finest $400 I have spent on my audio set up. If you have no plans on changing out your tower speakers but want clarity like you've never heard from your current speakers the Gaia III is your answer. According to the literature the Gaia III feet come with the weight capacity is 60 lbs, not 70 lbs.

Excellent isolation and sound panorama spread out in front of you.

I wasn't as shocked as some of the reviewers since I kind of already knew what to expect. I previously bought IsoAcoustics Aperta 200 stands for my desktop LS50's and was completely blown away so I expected similar results from the GAIA III feet. With the GAIA III's I got even more impressive results but that might be partly due to the fact that they went into a higher end system than my desktop setup. I have never gotten such a huge improvement in sound with this "cheap" of an investment. I put "cheap" in quotations because upgrading my speakers cables to an $1800 pair made a tremendous improvement in clarity and soundstage but don't hold a candle to the improvements that the GAIA III's brought. Apologies for the buzzwords but after adding the GAIA's I got crazy holographic sound imaging. The improvement in soundstage is unbelievable and undeniable. A second veil was lifted from my speakers. I experienced this "veil" lifting when I upgraded my speaker cables but the improvement with the GAIA's was even more drastic and at less than 1/4 the cost. There is a new level of clarity to the sound and upon listening to Beck's "Sea Change" album I was hearing parts of the song (instrument separation) that I previously had not noticed. It was the same "WOW" feeling I got when I upgraded my headphones from Beyerdynamic DT770's to Sennheiser HD800's. They removed a bloated bass problem that I thought was just poor room acoustics. Overall, the low end became really tight and focused sounding and there was a boominess that I used to get when sitting in the back of the room that is no longer there. Another benefit that I didn't expect was how much larger they made the "sweet spot". To get the best sound I used to have to sit dead center between my speakers about 6 feet from the rear wall. Moving forward, backwards, or to the sides as little as 1 foot really killed the soundstage. Now I can sit around 5 feet off center from the sweet spot in every direction but forward and it sounds almost as good as being dead center. This has made listening way more convenient since I have more freedom with where I sit without really compromising the sound. They also caused a significant improvement when watching movies. Before you definitely knew you were watching movies on a 2-channel system. The dialogue would get lost in the mix sometimes so I would always watch movies with subtitles. Now it sounds almost as if I've got a center channel installed when watching movies. Dialogue is so clear now that I can finally lose the subtitles. TLDR: Just try them! As long as the seller is "fulfilled by Amazon" you're protected by Amazon's gracious 30-day return policy. This allows you a no-risk demo of them and if you aren't blown away like every other reviewer you can always send them back with free return shipping and get a full refund. There's really no excuse not to try them with that 30-day return policy on the table. With so much snake oil in the audio world it's easy to be skeptical of products that promise big results but this is one product that I can say with 100% certainty is completely snake oil free. I've gotten big improvements from speaker cables but at great cost. I've spent hundreds on interconnects too with negligible results. The GAIA's and the Aperta 200's though... just WOW!

Look I’ve researched these things for 2 years. Reviews go from omg how did I listen to music without them to I can’t hear anything different, waste of money. Like Apple IA spent a lot of money on presentation (packaging). They also give you variety of hardware so they will probably fit your speakers and plenty of instructions in box on YouTube ( highly recommended). But they are expensive. That said they are well made and absolutely made a difference. Sometimes when I read reviews there’s no delineation between fact and opinion and I hate that. So here’s what I’m going to do, just tell you what exactly these feet did for MY /ME sound . Reduced what I call bad bass. Crisper cleaner sound. And definitely helped with TT hum at the low end. Every once in a while if the bass passages are really down there I’d hear a vibration hum from the TT. That’s gone. Clearer crisper sound less almost muddy bass! Home run worth the money. Keep in mind I have ,for me in my life, a high end system Marantz TOL and 84lb speakers in a mostly carpeted room and these feet helped clean that up. Lots of me me me but that’s because like food it is somewhat subjective. I can tell a bad , mediocre sound system. The difference between 5k snd 25 k is NOT subjective it’s an ocean of difference, But when your at the 25k plus system and you add these feet or better wires etc etc ( rabbit hole) the differences are not as obvious. For me these feet make a clear easy to hear difference. But my wife didn’t notice a thing and told me a wasted my money 💰 💥🥊😂

Muy buena calidad

Installés sur colonnes Focal, et ... plus de volumes. Le son est excellent, aérien...

Bought these the GAIA III isolation feet for my Tannoy Turnberry speakers as an upgrade to the stock plastic footers. Pros: - Solid construction - Fairly easy to install Cons: - Expensive for what they are Overall, I would consider these an upgrade to stock footers or spikes, and they provide decent isolation.

I am usually skeptical about buying audiophile accessories and did question whether adding a set of GAIA II would cause a significant uplift in the sonic performance of my Focal Aria 936 floor-standing speakers. After reading several reviews and finding out that that GAIA received an EISA award finally gave me sufficient reason to buy the product to test it out in my own home. To my delight, I immediate detected an improvement to my stereo system after installing the GAIA II. The bass was noticeably tighter than before. The middle and higher frequencies also sounded cleaner. This product is certainly a worthwhile upgrade as it made my stereo system sound more resolved. As much as I would like to see competing products all lower prices on the market I have not yet found any. To spend US$600 on a set of "rubber feet" to support a pair of US$4,000 speakers did challenge my previous thinking a bit. What I have learnt in this instance is that one does not know what the performance gaps are in a systems until certain components a swapped out and the change in output is observed.

These GAIA Isolation Feet are the real deal. They work exactly as advertised. The sonic benefits are significant and real. I’ve bought two sets now and am currently using them under subwoofers. No going back after using these. Build quality is also excellent - they look and feel beautiful.
