IsoAcoustics Orea Series Audio Equipment Isolators (Indigo - 16 lbs Max/pc)

Very good,I put the isoacoustics isolators under my turntable,good sounds!

I have tinkered around with footers for my audio gear for years. Some were too soft, too compliant and thus the music would be robbed of its natural energy. Super hard carbon fiber cones preserved the energy of the sound but introduced a hardness to the upper midrange and treble.Enter Isoacoustics' Orea footers. The three bronze footers I bought here are spaced under my line stage. As of this writing my entire system save the turntable is sitting atop Oreas. They just clean the sound. A fog is lifted. Individual instruments inhabit a specific space in the soundscape. The sound is open and encompassing. I am hearing small, fun details in songs I know well but never truly heard before. It sure took me a good many years to find the solution to vibration and chassis resonance. Thank goodness for Isoacoustics designing such an effective line of products that are not crazy expensive and truly get the job done! If you are a serious music listener your system needs the Orea treatment!

This did help to tighten up my bass, and stop feedback into my tonearm. I would recommend something like these. They are expensive... I'm not 100% convinced they were worth the price. I've seen people make their own using pool noodles, padding and the like. I'm willing to bet that these aren't much better. I think the hardest part would be getting the right stiffness for the weight of your sub (or speaker, or whatever you are putting these under). Proper compression is key. These are weight-rated, which is nice. It makes it easy to get achieve the right effect. Building your own, it might be harder to strike the balance between over-compressed and under-compressed. Isoaccoustics has done the math for you and put them in a neat casing (which is completely invisible in my setup, so it hardly matters), but at their core, they are just foam.

Over the years I've bought so many different sound isolation pads, pucks, spiders, you name it, for subwoofers and powered studio speakers. Didn't seem to make much difference. I tried these on my subwoofer first, which sits on a wooden floor. The difference in sound was amazing. Before, even sitting on the OEM mounts, the lower frequency bass was there, more like a rumble. After using these, the bass is crisp, clear, and punchy. Instead of feeling a low rumble you feel the bass drum punch you in chest. Then I tried smaller ones on my speakers, one at a time so I could do an A/B comparison. No doubt, not my imagination, it brought out clarity and punch. Lyrics I couldn't quite make out before became so clear. I heard sounds in music I've never heard before. So with these (appropriate size for appropriate weight) on all my speakers, my whole system sounds like I spent thousands on new components. They are very pricey, but now I've finally found speaker isolators that actually work and make a very significant improvement in sound. I'm not using these on turntables or other such components, so I don't know how well they might work on those applications. But for speakers and subwoofers, I'm blown away. Now my grief is that anytime I set up new speakers, I'll have to shell out big bucks for more of these things.

I got this for Emotiva TA2 Integrated amp and boy am I happy!! This really open up the soundstage and clarity! It’s like upgrading a power cable as far as sound goes!! I didn’t realize how much unwanted vibrations take a load on your system! Also the TA2 is amazing but kinda noisy…this brought the noise down by like 75-80 percent!! I highly recommend these on your entire system! I even put some on my power conditioner and was completely blown away by the sound quality! Even though no audio runs through that part of the chain…there is still a power signal and if you can isolate that before it gets to your equipment then you will be absolutely amazed!! I highly recommend this amazing company and the Morrison family. They have excellent integrity and they hold the patent on this amazing invention!

For many years I have debated on getting isolation feet for my speakers and isolation pad for my record player. Both isoacoustic. Massive reverb for many years due to bass and sound waves passing through the room to the turntable. In combination with these isolation feet and isolation turntable combined. Has transformed my listing experience in the living room by tenfold. Worth every penny, even though it's expensive. If you don't notice a difference on how loud and crisp the audio is return immediately. But I know for a fact you never want to switch back to no isolation. Make sure you calculate the weight of your speakers to how many isolation pads you need for each speaker. If you have to save for a little longer to get what you need. Just do so, these are not just rubber isolation feet. I will always have isolation feet now with every set of speakers I own.

Make sure you measure and get the right size. Using these with an Eversolo DMP-A6 that is sitting on top of two Outlaw Audio monoblocks. The A6 seemed to be getting hot after being on all day. Got the, as I call them, spacers for better air flow around the unit. The isolators are exactly the same size as the feet under the A6 and look like they are part of the system. No apparent heat concerns anymore.

I used these on my Audioengine S8 subwoofer. It not only tightened the bass, but increased its detail and impact. It basically allows the subwoofer to be free in its driver movement. This means the speaker can be more detailed. You get a few extra beats that were otherwise muffled by saggy movement. It also cleared up vibrations traveling through the floor and to the main speakers. A relatively cheap investment for an incredible impact on sound quality! Highly reccomended!Be aware that you need to buy more than one. A minimum of three for speakers and components. I got four, because the sub has four feet.
