Odds are it’s not the one you mean, but it’s definitely what I think of!
If you need to adjust precise leveling of the speakers, how difficult is it with the gaia feet on and speakers are already in place?
Since they are threaded, you just need to tilt the speaker and turn the footer. There’s some knurled lock nuts you need to loosen first. You also should pay attention to the alignment of the footer. IsoAcoustics suggests that the logo face forward. They say there’s some design considerations inside the footer that’s optimized when facing forward.
I trimmed my plastic back to the cover edge so heatsinks breath to save finish on the cover.

The Gaia’s don’t look bad below those Focals! Not bad at all.
Thank you …they make a nice wee change ro the sound

As there’s always also a noticeable source of HF/EMI radiation moved, in revealing setups, it’s useful to observe if soundstaging/imaging changes to the worse or not, especially with TV‘s (not silver screens
), amps and power plants between speakers.
I’d say you earned that from Gryphon. Looks cool.
That was a gift from my buddy @paul172. I like it.
In the Netherlands it is mandatory to have a utilities cabinet “meterkast” next to the front door.
It really is a utilities cabinet:
- incoming water (floor not visible)
- big black box in the bottom, heat exchanger, we heat with rest heat from power stations, waste incinerator, and other industrial installations that get rid of their abundance of heat that way “stadswarmte”
- electrical central distribution panel, we supply energy (solar panels) and use energy
- KPN WAN-access modem/router for VOIP, TV over IP and internet, the switch distributes ethernet through the entire house, each room accept of the bathrooms have at least 2 double RJ45 wall outlets
We are getting fiber optics WAN end of this month, which I am looking forward to as the MQA Radio Paradise broadcasting I like listening to uses quite some bandwidth and the kids will enjoy the extreme short ping time that fiber optics offer. (Up=Download)
Network stuff (since we are doing it at the moment) - all a bit scruffy and untidy, sometimes it is tidy and organised ![]()
(I’ll add the pics from my tablet, typing this from my workstation PC).
Pic 1:
Spare bedroom where the POTS telephone line comes in (for my internet) and the fibre line comes in (for my son’s internet). The two are linked (at my router) of course.
In this pic you can see the tie lines from the rest of the house coming down from the ceiling and into the 12 port patchbay (10 used). My son’s router, PoE switch etc. is tied to his room and the garage (where his servers are - no pic taken).
Below that is my VDSL modem and managed switch. The modem is on a non routed point-to-point VLAN down to:
=================
Pic 2:
Back room extension / dining room / workshop / office.
My workstation (currently Linux MiNT).
My NAS (lower right - a Synology 214).
My Router (linked via aforementioned pt-to-pt VLAN to the modem upstairs).
Managed switch handling the VLAN tagging etc.
=====================
Pic 3:
Back room close to the HiFi.
RasPi 4 music server (mounts the music directory via nfs from the NAS in the previous pic (so via the ties to the spare room and back)).
5 port switch for:
uplink to spare room and on, the Pi4 server, 2 RasPi upsampling streamers, and 1 Apple TV Gen 2 (for watching Plex occasionally, and iPad YouTube airplay stuff - the Gen 2 still had Optical SPDIF out which is why I use it).
I just came over all funny, that’s a beautiful sight, great job ![]()
Tidy job.
Yes, very impressive, I’m full of admiration for you doing such a great job. It’s all so neat and tidy.
