The Best Audiophile Upgrade Ever? Audio Greek Audiophile Award!

[@tigerfish66]

The best HiFi upgrade i experienced was professional ear wax removal, honestly......not trolling.

[@arthurwatts1680]

As long as I never have to see the results, I'm fine with that.

[@kimurastanley]

These are definitely my fav isolation products. I like them so much and I have 6 delta extreme under my spks and 10 wellfloat delta! And I fully agree with your findings. One of the reason I like this product so much is that it does not alter the tonal balance! However I found wellfloat board does alter the sound a bit especially the A4 size board. I believe is the board material. There is a ‘wellfloat coating’ version board and that does not alter much from what I hear.

[@GreekAudioGeek]

Hi - thanks for commenting! I have their boards that has the coating you are referencing so I have not experienced them altering the sound. I've never tired the regular version though so it may well be true.

[@kimurastanley]

@@GreekAudioGeek wellfloat also makes boards with their mechanism for other brands in Japan such as Airbow, TAD. The difference is the material of board for example birch wood for TAD board I am using and each of them sounds different than others

[@pizzaearthpancakesandother2549]

I use hockey pucks under my speakers and the difference is astonishing!

[@nilespeshay1734]

"...if you're running $1200 speakers, this is not for you." aaaannnnnnd, I'm out.... Carry on, affluent audiophiles!

[@GreekAudioGeek]

Check out the Stack Audio. At $250 they are EXCELLENT performers.

[@GreekAudioGeek]

@@ClassifiedBrief It's decent but for high resolution systems it is not "far better than anything". What other vibration pieces have you tried your Sorbothane against? I've tried them and they give you $20 upgrade in sound which is great for some systems, and not so great for others.

[@arize84]

I had a similar experience with the Deltas. I wasn't expecting much of difference since my system sit on concrete floors in basement. I was shocked by the improvement, more resolution, better imaging, and improved bass articulation. They significantly outperformed my gaia feet (which to me reduced dynamics while slightly improving sound stage).

[@GreekAudioGeek]

Thanks for sharing! I've heard many vibration products - the Delta's are the best I've every heard on a speaker application.

[@arize84]

@@GreekAudioGeek I might get platforms for source components at some point but I will need to test them out first.

[@GreekAudioGeek]

I think you'll like them - but 100000% agree on always try first to make sure it works for you.

[@mariocassar3117]

I found that the best speaker support were spikes supported n a 40 kgs. Granite slab.

[@gerihifi]

You should havd tried Stackaudior Auva's 😊 ...similar experience..thanks for sharing!! There design look quiet strange for me...

[@r2d3vadar92]

5th. Olive oil blend(worst), 4th. Olive oil regular, 3rd. Virgin Olive oil, 2nd. Extra virgin olive oil, 1st. First press cold press extra virgin olive oil(best).

[@GreekAudioGeek]

1000% YES!

[@skiiizo]

Opa ! Enfin un Grec dans le monde de la hi-fi. Quel bonheur 😃 Για σου φίλε από Βέλγιο

[@GreekAudioGeek]

Thank you for watching!

[@Mongodaze234]

I believe you. 2 of my friends have them in their systems & they are fantastic! I personally have AV Roomservice EVP’s under my speakers & turntable. Have you tried those in the past? They are pretty special as well.

[@GreekAudioGeek]

Hello! I have not had the chance to try those yet. What do you like about them?

[@Mongodaze234]

I think the concept of using rigid fiberglass works really well for decoupling & absorption which is also used for a lot of room treatment. These things really cleaned & opened up the sound. Have a look on their website. There’s lots of info there.

[@NiclasMardfelt]

If you like the Wellfloat tech you will love Townsend seismic products.

[@GreekAudioGeek]

Hi - I've tried reaching out to them repeatedly and they refuse to ever answer emails or messages. I've heard this happens with them and I won't promote a company that is so difficult to get in contact with.

[@JC.LC.]

I second that. I have the seismic podium platforms under my speakers, and they made a very nice improvement in my system. I recommend you find a good dealer and communicate with them. Jaguar Audio is very responsive.

[@GreekAudioGeek]

@@JC.LC. I've heard good things about Jaguar Audio.

[@stillaliveandwell5291]

You're Greek they're English. Who gets more sun? 😂 I have 4 inch custom sandboxes with marble slab tops on gaia 2 on 85 lb speakers with outriggers. Concrete slab was way out of level necessitating the sandboxes so I could level both speakers to the sitting position. There is a 3/4 inch wool rug for most of the room as well. The bottom of the sandboxes are polished and waxed 16 gauge steel so I can slide the whole 110 lb. thing around to wherever I want. I don't think I need the gaias but still experimenting.

[@Rick--A-F]

@@GreekAudioGeek It's a shame as they are usually a very good company to communicate with. Maybe they've had they fingers burnt too many times by KZbinrs etc.

[@KeithSkronek]

I love the award. I would really like to know how these perform on padded carpet floors.

[@GreekAudioGeek]

Hi Keith - I did try them on an area rug. Same fantastic performance.

[@KeithSkronek]

I see pictures where folks set the speaker/component on WellFloat, then on a spiked platform when on a carpet. A padded carpet is much cushier than an area rug and I’m really concerned there would be too much cushion/wobble when placed directly on a padded carpet floor. The only way to find out is to try it.

[@GreekAudioGeek]

@@KeithSkronek Hi Keith - I ALWAYS agree everyone needs to try for themselves. In my past experience with padded carpets speakers quickly settle into the padding under the cushion and they are soon resting on the sub floor. I can't say for sure, but with the WF's being so low vs. other products I think you'd be OK. But I agree you need to try for sure.

[@firebladeclements]

I'm waiting for the green olive award product!😊

[@GreekAudioGeek]

oooooooohhhhhhhhhh...........good idea! And we'll make it a Kalamata Olive (the best of the best)!

[@anthonyfellows3345]

Love the oil award. This adds some light-hearted humour to this great hobby. Do you have any products that would fit into the vegetable oil category? lol. Great videos.

[@firebladeclements]

Got lots of tweaks that would fall under "the black olive" award probably! Lol

[@GreekAudioGeek]

Ha! Good point!

[@GreekAudioGeek]

@anthonyfellows The Stack Audio feet at $250. Also check out my video on how $30 network switch from Amazon can improve the sound on ANY system regardless of price.

[@philippelabrecque6658]

Could you elaborate on the negative effects of the iso-acoustics please? Thanks!

[@GreekAudioGeek]

Hi - They made the sound soft and mushy sounding. I lost all the transient attacks. The sound became sloppy sounding.

[@djhmax09]

Did you try the revopods atop the deltas?

[@GreekAudioGeek]

I can't as the RevOpods don't work on the speakers with their angle. I tried and they wouldn't stay.

[@CarlScherz]

Would these work on a speaker with a platform base like Cornwall IV or LaScalas?

[@GreekAudioGeek]

So long as the speakers is not designed to be coupled to the floor for base reinforcement - than yes.

[@gamerfinn3634]

Would of liked to see an installation. I have no clue about the look and how they work.

[@GreekAudioGeek]

You lift up the speaker or component, put this under the foot, and put the gear down on it. 5:07 shows you what it looks like under a speaker.

[@shannonwilliams6623]

Have you heard of Live Vibe?

[@GreekAudioGeek]

Hi - I have not.

[@maxadams1298]

You previously said you would try the Stack Auva footers under your speakers - worth a comparison?

[@GreekAudioGeek]

I'm always willing to try anything. Having said that I've tried numerous vibration controls devices over the years including trying the Stack Audio I currently have. The Well-float is superior to everything I've ever tried tried in the speaker isolation role.

[@CésarRubio-w1n]

Stack Audio has a 100% money back, the Well-Float do not which is a shame.

[@GreekAudioGeek]

It's a different business model. Well-float has dealers that you go through. Any good dealer is going to let you try them first.

[@CésarRubio-w1n]

I spoke with the North American distributor, he said that they did not, it would be a used item and not something they did. Would love to try, but it’s a big gamble.

[@GreekAudioGeek]

@@CésarRubio-w1n Of course - that's how EVERY distributor works. As I said you need to do it at the DEALER level.

[@CésarRubio-w1n]

Could not find a dealer in my area or the USA, might you know of one?

[@GreekAudioGeek]

@@CésarRubio-w1n Hmmm.....Let me see if I can find one to help.
