IsoAcoustics Orea Series Isolation Feet
With 4 different models to match the weight of your component or speaker, the OREA Series by Iso Acoustic securely and efficiently mitigates vibration, noticeably boosting the quality and clarity of sound produced by your setup.
What IsoAcoustics say
IsoAcoustic's Orea series of isolation feet eliminate parasitic vibrations, providing greater sound clarity and focus. The OREA’s are ideal for electronic components including Amplifiers, DAC’s, CD Players, Speakers, and Turntables. Made of machined stainless steel, these isolators have a low-profile design to minimize any increase in height.
Each OREA model is designed for different weight capacities. They each have a coloured ring on the bottom isolator that denotes the model and weight capacity. The OREA series are packaged individually to allow greater flexibility when determining the number of units to use. We recommend a minimum of 3 units under each component, depending on weight.
The upper flange of the OREA’s are designed to provide a suction cup-like effect and adhere to the underside of the component, while the lower flange adheres to the supporting surface. All the energy is managed within the core of the OREA’s, which are tuned to work within specific weight ranges. This results in greater sound clarity and a more open soundstage providing authentic, three-dimensional sound.
The existing feet on an audio component may connect well and fit nicely around the perimeter of the OREA isolator. Alternatively, you may get better performance by either removing the feet entirely or placing the OREA’s beside the existing feet to have them connect directly to the chassis or base of the component.
The OREA’s are designed to be used in multiples to match the weight of the component or speaker. The total weight capacity is calculated as follows: Total Weight Capacity = [Weight cap. per isolator] x [Qty of Isolators]
It is common to use 3 or 4 OREA isolators for each component or speaker, but keep in mind that it is most important to stay within the weight capacity of the OREA isolator. The weight distribution of the component can also be taken into account. If for example, the component is heaviest at the back, then it is common to use 3 isolators with 2 positioned at the back corners and 1 positioned front/centre.

Isoacoustics Orea Isolators Definitely Work

I have these isolators installed throughout my system. The sonic improvements are really worthwhile. The only small caveat is that they can be awkward to install in a rack environment, particularly with very heavy kit in tight spaces. This issue is accentuated by the need for the pucks to be precisely aligned for the best sound.
Nonetheless, they work superbly and are highly recommended.

It took about 3 days for them to bed in, but there was a noticeable improvement in clarity, and the soundstage widened beyond the speakers.

I have compared these feet to 4 other makers. They are the ones that sound more different.
In the beginning, there is a certain shock. The dynamic range is wider, making things sound more relaxed but not slower, which sounds strange at the beginning. Timbres are definitely better. Everything becomes less mechanical and more fluid.
Extremely good product for the price.

IsoAcoustics Orea Isolation Feet Indigo review. Listened for over a week.
I realise this review is at odds with most others I have read on the web, but it was done with care and competence and obviously under my equipment and set up which has a very wide frequency response.
Appropriate (Indigo) units used for the weight of electronics: Amplifier, CD player and Vinyl disc pre-amp. Similar results with all. These sounded worse the next day, as they settled in.
A little dull, dead and ploddy sounding. Lacked dynamics and air. A bit slow, and the bass was a bit thick, lacking detail. A bit boring overall. So just not as interesting to listen to.
The above was used as intended. During changing over to the Lehman Audio 3S Absorbing feet point 2, I noticed how the Orea's were stuck to my (Bamboo) rack (through suction). So I fashioned a piece of card to go between the rack and bottom of each Orea and replaced it under equipment. A big improvement. If I rated them as 2/5 before, now I would rate 4/5 with reference to the Lehmanns as 5/5.
My equipment sounded better on its own feet rather than with the Oreas when used without a card between. When used as intended, the Oreas couple the equipment to the rack/platform, so in my opinion increasing the chance of colouration. I can understand if the Oreas work well where vibration is a problem as they have "suspension".
The Lehmann's feet provided a more reliable solution, so I use them under all my equipment now. You may be interested to read my review of the Lehmann's on this website.
I indicated a no to a recommendation. However, if you stop the feet from sticking to the surface they are on, I would recommend them if vibration is a problem.

I used four Oreas between each of my Totem 1 Signature speakers and Target stands.
The concave rubber on the top and bottom of the Oreas had a suction effect. After about a week, the speakers were more secure, and the height increased, bringing the tweeters closer to the ear level.
The graphite finish looked great between the cherry wood speakers & black stands.
Finally, the SQ improvement was significant, and the quality of the Oreas more than justified the cost.
The service and recommendations were excellent from the guys at Future Shop.

I've tried various sizes of the solid oak cone, silicone, Sorbothane etc. feet, but none can compete with any Orea's for me under hifi components.
I'm hearing more accurate sound reproduction read detail, imaging, stereo separation, and sound staging. I hear the most significant increase in the air & ambience (pre-amp).
It could well be that because the equipment isn't on a "dedicated hifi rack" & a vibrating side cabinet that the results are much more noticeable. Currently own three sets of Orea's in different sizes (under the turntable, phono stage & pre-amp). I will be looking to do our pwr amp soon as this "should" be the biggest overall effect as it's the last in the chain before the speakers.
Highly recommend, five stars*****. Thank you for taking the time to read this review.

When I first installed the Isoacoustics Orea Bronze isolators under my Luxman EQ500, they sounded rough. They were so rough that I thought they might have to be returned - much worse than I have experienced with the Bordeaux and Indigo I had used previously. After two or three days, they were a little better. After eight days, they were really singing. All of the attributes I liked previously were now there in spades.
The air, space, improved details, delightful vocals, and big powerful instruments. The bass improved so much that the sub-woofers were almost redundant. All in all, this has been a very successful series of upgrades which would not have happened without the excellent advice I received from Geoff and Adam Senior at
Futureshop.
Knowledgeable guys - deal with confidence.

I installed IsoAcoustics Orea Bordeaux isolators a few weeks ago under my Harbeth M40. speakers. The results were impressive. There was improved clarity and naturalness throughout the frequency range and, most noticeably, much-improved bass performance.
I thought long and hard about whether to try them with my Luxman electronics, as Luxman have already made some provision in their designs for vibration control. I decided to press ahead and installed Bordeaux and Indigo isolators under the L509X amp and D06u SACD player.
The results were even more impressive this time. No doubt because of the fact that the speakers had already been done. As before, they only reached their full potential after a week of settling down.
I am very pleased with my purchase.

With the four pieces, Isoacoustics Orea Graphite feet tucked underneath my Audiolab 8200CD player, to be honest, I was not expecting great things.
But I was wrong. I was lost for words by the amount of improvement it brought to my CD player: more robust dynamics, greater clarity, better focus and a very open and sublime midrange!

Initially, I enquired about using Gaia II footers for my Harbeth M40.2 speakers, which are large monitor speakers on stands. Geoff at Future Shop suggested that the Oreas might be better placed directly under the speakers. He was right. They work superbly.
The bass improved, and the treble and midrange detail was also on another level. Staggering!
Another reviewer mentioned that they do not perform straight out of the box. He was right. They need almost a week to settle down, so patience is required, but it’s worth the wait.

I have tried Isoacoustics Gaia beneath my ATC SCM40A, and they made a fantastic difference.
My system has since moved on, and I now own Kii Audio Three stand mount speakers. The speaker stands are heavy at approximately 25Kg, and I was unsure whether adding the 8 Indigos on top of the stands and beneath the 20Kg speakers could make any difference. The difference was night and day.
Allow seven days to make a judgement as the sound will change in character for the better. Initially, I wondered where the bass had gone, but don't worry; it does return. The Kii Audio speakers were already excellent, but they have now become astonishing. They now image as never before. The HF range is cleaner, more open, and now just so natural and holographic. I would not say that the bass is vastly superior, just more accurate and natural without any overhang.

These IsoAcoustic Orea pods are absolutely brilliant! ordered the Indigo and the Bronze to fit under my Auralic merat power amps and Auralic vega dac/pre and just cannot believe the difference the sound had improved, just so much more focus and leading edge definition, bass a lot tighter. I must admit i tried them under my Cocktail audio server/streamer and WOW!!
Now i have to buy 3 more graphite pods.PS I did buy the Oehlbach shock absorbers which actually did do a good job but not as effective as the IsoAcoustic Orea pods!
Thanks for the quick delivery! more orders to come!

Got them to put under my LFD Zero MKV amp and was very pleased with the subtle but noticeable improvement in the sound they produced. Whereas previously the top end seemed to be slightly separated from the mid and low end the Orea Bronze made the musical presentation much more cohesive and coherent and enhanced the best qualities of the LFD amp. Make sure you get the right model for the weight of your equipment and also I found that 4 Bronze worked better than 3 under my amp.
The next step is to try 4 each under my standmount Harbeth speakers as from what I've read it seems that this is their real forte.
