Default Isocoustics Gaia Feet?

Has anyone tried these on a D3 series speaker? Thoughts?

Yes, I installed the Gaia 1’s on my 800D3’s which are sitting on timber floors. For me there was a definite improvement - tighter bass and bigger soundstage were the obvious things. IMHO it’s worth the investment...

Anyone tried it on a DB1D sub? Two of the factory rubber feet are busted and wondering if I should try the Gaia or just get the B&W replacements.

Yes - I replaced the rubber feet with Gaia’s and was happy with the difference. More defined and controlled is how I’d best describe it...

Well I changed the feet on my DB1D to the Gaia and I do notice a difference. I have wooden floorboards and the biggest difference the the floor doesn't vibrate as much anymore. So as isolations they seem to work.

I sell the Gaia’s also. FWIW, Stillpoints easily outperform them. I just had a set installed on an AA members 802D’s. Even his wife was smitten.
