Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Isolation

[Dizzie]

I tried the Titans under my Wilson Alexx’s and lost all of the detail … put the stock Wilson diodes back on and all was good. Ended up installing the newer Wilson diodes and that was a meaningful upgrade. Not sure why the Titans sounded so bad in my setup. Is on carpet and tried with and without the carpet spikes. Didn’t work either way. My experience only.

George,

From the look of the Wilson Diodes, they would penetrate carpet and contact a hard surface. Is that the situation in your system? That is probably the difference. Titans float on carpet even with carpet spikes which do not penetrate to a hard surface. I had a similar experience with Sound Labs. I ended up using cheap spikes. I do like and use GAIAs with Magico over tile/concrete in my HT system.

I am very puzzled why IsoAcoustics made carpet cups with spikes that are obviously too short.

Anything that reduces capacitive coupling (static) between the cable and carpet will help.

Maybe try a set of Stackaudio Auva100. They ship from the U.S. now so no duties.
