IsoAcousticsOrea Series Audio Equipment Isolators (Graphite - 4 lbs Max/pc)

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.

This is a true game changer! I thought better cables make a difference and they do but isolation is also extremely important. They do wonders on my Bluetooth speaker as well. I also use them on my power conditioner. Just experimenting and not expecting much but boy was I amazed! Micro vibrations from supporting surfaces really affect the overall sound stage and imaging of the sound. Make sure you are within the weight capacity and not to light either. I put a weight on top of some of my gear if you feel like there isn’t enough magic or not at all impressed. Please refer to the graph on the IsoAcoustics website. There is a sound quality that you will hear and it will spoil you!!

If your system has aspirations of being "high performance," or maybe even if it doesn't, you need to get rid of spurious vibrations.The original signal (the music) is the desirable vibration. The added vibration from the air, the floor, the self-vibration of your components, is just noise which obscures the original signal.I have Isoacoustics products under my speakers and every other component of my system. My sound is clean. These things are great.

Does nothing to isolate feedback in a turntable.
