IsoAcoustics OREA Bordeaux Isolation Puck - Each

The Heavy-Duty OREA for Power Amplifiers and Big Turntables

The IsoAcoustics OREA Bordeaux is sold singly. Each puck carries 32 pounds. Three or four support a power amp, a monoblock, a heavy turntable or a big integrated weighing between about 48 and 128 pounds.

Heavy gear both makes and receives vibration. A big transformer hums, the speakers shake the floor, and both reach the chassis through the shelf. IsoAcoustics designs the OREA to soak up that energy inside the puck rather than let it travel upward.

Fit, Load and Materials

Each Bordeaux carries up to 32 pounds. IsoAcoustics says to use at least three under a component, and three or four is typical. Three carry 96 pounds, four carry 128 and six carry 192. No minimum is published. A barely loaded puck never reaches its working range, so a 20-pound preamp belongs on the Indigo.

The housing is machined stainless steel with a bordeaux ring on the lower isolator. Each puck is 2.6 inches across and 1.4 inches tall, the largest in the family. Under a hot amplifier that height helps airflow, and it eats shelf clearance.

The dished top grips a smooth chassis like a suction cup and holds textured surfaces by friction. The pucks are built for a rack shelf, an amp stand or the floor. For anything heavier than four pucks carry, the IsoAcoustics online weight selector shows how many to add.

What Reviewers Are Saying

Stereophile lists the OREA Bordeaux in its Recommended Components for 2025. The list is the magazine's twice-yearly roundup of gear its own reviewers have used and stand behind.

Art Dudley placed OREA Bordeaux pucks under his turntable plinth for Stereophile and wrote that the mandolin on a favorite record “had more body and an altogether richer timbral character.”

Who Is the OREA Bordeaux Best For?

• You own a power amp or integrated of 48 to 128 pounds — three or four Bordeaux pucks carry it inside their working range
• You run a heavy turntable — the pucks replace the plinth feet, and the 2.6-inch footprint gives a wide plinth a stable footing
• You have monoblocks on the floor or on stands — sold singly, so three under each amplifier with no set to split
• Your amplifier runs hot — 1.4 inches of added height keeps air moving under the chassis on a closed shelf
• Your component weighs less than about 48 pounds — the OREA Indigo, rated 16 pounds a puck, keeps a lighter amplifier inside its working range

How Do You Set Them Up?

Set three or four pucks where the chassis, not the stock feet, will land: two at the front and one behind, or one under each corner. Lower the amp and press so each flange seats. Under a speaker, face the logo forward. Level a turntable after the pucks are loaded. Load them and listen.

Pairs Well With

What most OREA Bordeaux owners shop next.

• Audio racks — a rigid, level shelf gives the pucks a firm grip
• Power conditioners — cleaner power for the gear you are isolating
• Isolation feet and cones — the other rungs for the rest of the rack
• Cables — the natural next upgrade for an isolated source

Frequently Asked Questions

How many do I need?

Three is the minimum IsoAcoustics recommends under any component, and four is common. Three Bordeaux carry 96 pounds, four carry 128 and six carry 192. They are sold singly, so order that count.

Which OREA model fits my component?

Choose by weight: Graphite 4 pounds a puck, Bronze 8, Indigo 16, Bordeaux 32. Overloaded or barely loaded, a puck sits outside its working range. The IsoAcoustics online weight selector settles borderline weights.

Can I use them under a floorstanding speaker?

Yes. Face the IsoAcoustics logo forward, in line with the drivers, and confirm the count for the speaker's weight with the selector. For speakers that take screw-in feet, IsoAcoustics also makes the threaded GAIA.

How much height does it add under my amplifier?

Each Bordeaux is 1.4 inches tall and 2.6 inches across. It takes the place of the stock feet, so the net change is usually about an inch. Measure the gap above the amp first.
