IsoAcoustics GAIA

@bigwave1 Any firm opinions as whether to spike or not spike the Gaia's on carpet?

Definitely spike. The Gaia’s work best if they are firmly anchored. Your soundstage will improve when you install them. 

I just bought a pair of Sonus Farber speakers and haven’t put Gaia’s on them yet, but when I put them on my KEF Reference 5’s, they made an instant improvement in the presentation and the bass.

Vote for with the carpet spikes.  I ran one with one without and switched L to R channels, same test I did with and without GAIA's.

I had a little luck with my Gaia’s after replacing them with platforms. The threading for the speakers was identical to the threading on my amp stands. So, I removed the carpet spikes from the amps, replaced them with the Gaia’s and ordered some of the carpet spikes for the Gaia’s. 

The Gais's are one of the most expensive tweaks that I've tried. After installing them I had instant regrets; and, not because they were bad. My results were so good, that my regret was not trusting my instincts and trying them sooner.

Of course, they won't be this successful for everyone; but, the money back guarantee means that it's a no - lose situation.
