Spikes (Feet) Upgrade
IsoAcoustics Gaia Isolation Feet
Gaia II and Gaia I M8 Isolation Feet
IsoAcoustics Gaia Isolation Feet do not need our introduction. You can read all about Gaia II and Gaia I at their own web page, www.isoacoustics.com
Though our stock feet were carefully chosen to work at best with our speakers, some of you might want to use different spikes and/or prefer the popular Gaia Isolation feet… and indeed, the Gaias do add a certain realism and clarity to the sound, lift the speakers just a bit, and simply look great!
- Thread: M8 (8mm)
- Duet15 and all Trio15 use GaiaII
- Quintet10 and Quintet15 use Gaia I
PS. This option is new and prices and online ordering options will be added to our web in the upcoming days. In the meantime, if you are interested having the Gaia Feet, just contact us directly for more details)
Crossover Components Upgrades
for our Thrier (and Leonidas) XOs
Capacitors
Over the years and after supplying dozens of these caps we can state without any hesitation that the ‘Mundorf MCAP EVO Silver Gold Oil Caps’ are our most recommended choice for upgrade of our Thrier (and Leonidas) crossovers. They present an extremely musical sonic signature along a wide frequency range; being warm and soft sounding, pleasant to the ears, and at the same time presenting stunning resolution without any fatigue.
From Mundorf Catalog: “The MCap® EVO SilverGold.Oil was developed in 2012 to specifically create the powerful and finely nuanced acoustic colours that are typical to the SilverGold in as compact and cost-effective a format as possible. The large capacities created as aresult also permit efficient use in high-quality midrange applications.”
The self-healing PP capacitor film is im-pregnated with oil after the EVOLUTIONwinding process and potted by hand into special casings. Any impact on the audio signal caused by microphony is practically ruled out as a result. The directly gold-plated,asymmetrical pure copper terminals make it possible to assemble it in a classic, horizontal style or vertical; the shorter lead also indicates the capacitor’s outer foil.”

“I‘m sitting comfortably and listen to Bryan Ferrys‘ latest Album „Bitter Sweet“. Gorgeous Jazz, Swing Ragtime Music of the 1920s… The Trio 15s are swinging wonderfully! The Mundorf EVO Silver Gold Oil in the crossover was a Great success!!!”, H.S., Customer, Germany
“The new caps just went into the crossovers. I attempted to A/B the old and new. The difference was striking right away. I’m sure they also require some break-in. Whether or not I’ll be able to recognize the subtle improvements over time is totally subject. Once again, all I can say is that I couldn’t be happier with my overall experience with Pure Audio Project.”, A.D., Customer, US
Resistors
It is for quite a while we’ve been searching for the ultimate resistors upgrade while Mundorf Metal Oxide and Supreme HiRes resistors were hard to beat. This search came to an end with the release of Mundorf new MRESIST ULTRA, copper-manganin foil resistors.
Totally transparent and organic sounding, with beautiful sonic finesse!
From Mundorf Catalog: “he development of our MRes Ultra Resistor is based on the well-known good tonal properties of copper-manganin foil. Compared to all wound-wire resistors, this film provides an order of magnitude lower inductance. Copper is significantly softer than the metal-oxide used for MOX resistors. The natural resonances of the copper-manganin foil are therefore significantly less pronounced, which means that distortions caused by crystallurgy and electroacoustics are significantly reduced here. That is why resistors of this design have secured a top position among audio components in recent years: They lack many of the distortions inherent in other resistor designs.”
“As far as the MRESIST ultra are concerned – there is no way back. I consider these parts as gamechangers! Everything gets wonderfully clear in a very natural manner. Nothing gets overly analytic. The small rest of hiss of sharpness in voices, especially when they get loud… The Trio 15s simply reveal every weak point in the chain. Greetings from Hannover“, H.S., Customer, Germany
