I run Qualio IQ speakers and am familiar with the handiwork of Grzegorz Rulka and Marek Kostrzynski of Poland. Some background: in honor of the passing of my father, who was also Polish and didn't speak English until the age of 5, and who over the years did numerous good for the Polish people before and after the Wall came down, Grzegorz and Marek specially crafted a plaque, in picture and words, on the back of each of my IQs to honor my father. They also gave me gratis, for each speaker, a five pack of color coded Mundorf copper-nickel resistors to fine turn each speaker's Mundorf AMT dipole super tweeter. I also separately purchased IsoAcoustic Gaia footers for the speakers; subsequently, Qualio changed their selling model and included the resistors in the regular model's selling price, and the IA footers in the newer Ultra edition.

I started hearing mention of "Vibron" footers a month or so ago, made by
Virtual HiFi which is run by the aforementioned Gregorz Rulka. They're intriguing, especially in light of their ultra-competitive pricing (1/3 the cost of the corresponding Gaia IIs, shipped) and the 3D printing manufacturing process. Today I found out that 6moons has positively reviewed the Vibrons on the IQs, including comparison to the IA Gaias, so I'm sharing that review as well as asking if any readers have early experience with the products.

I have two sets on order to try under my bookshelf speakers. I also have their opamps in my amplifier. Great service and communication from Gregorz at virtualhifi. wouldn’t hesitate to order from him. His new 3d printed bookshelf speakers, the Viper, looks really cool too

Hi I’m quite a bit frustrated: I ordered two sets of Vibrons from Greg too………..

I ordered the Vibrons Mid-April…….Till now i have not received the Vibrons yet……
The vibrons consists of two parts: The feet and the inserts……….
The delivery bottleneck are the inserts/screws………
So, why announce a delivery date without having one component of a two parts construction?!?

Hi,
with these sentences I would like to revise my post from above!

Sure, it still took 3 months for the Vibron Footers to arrive at my door!
But my Impatiance was much more than satisfied: First of all the packaging and the accessories are price-independent examplary!
Each Set has everything you need to adjust the Footers . The housing of the whole set is very smart!

When it comes to the performance, the footers works very well with my USM-Haller stands.
Everything I like about my speakers, the Vibrons excels these characteristics.

Measured by price-performance-ratio the Vibron footers are No-Brainers!

Last but not least there was a big surprise/ banger from Greg from Virtual Hifi!
The Package from Virtual Hifi contains a third set of the small Vibron footers.

I take this as a small compensation for my patience / impatiance. WOW

Dear Greg, if you read this: Thanks a lot and : a great gesture / service from your side!!!! Thumbs Up !!!

With best regards from Germany,
J

wow an extra set, that generosity is typical of greg! you can try it under a component. my vibrons are in transit
 
arrived today, implemented them in my near field desk setup, finally flipped the ascilab c6b upside down so the tweeter waveguide is at ear height, used furutech right angle locking banana plugs and blue non marking painters tape to keep the speaker wires away from the passive radiators. it's nice when a plan comes together =)
