So......what do you use under your speakers?

Looking to replace the stock spikes on my new speakers (Vivid Audio) that will make improvements in sound as well as give me a little more height. I have a commercial grade carpet over concrete with no padding. Not really looking to alter any frequency range but wouldn't mind general overall improvements in clarity, imaging, etc. I have been looking at Eden Sound Terracones, Stillpoints and Wave Kinetics. Price is not a deal breaker. TIA.
nobrainer

Tbg, the phrase electronic cancellation most likely came out of the marketing dept. as electronic (active) isolation has been with us for quite some time. Even the old warhorse Vibraplane has an Active version.

Herbie's Decoupling Spikes, under Von Schweikert VR5 HSE's. Gave fuller body, more natural sound compared to original spikes.

Geoffkait, yeah a pump.

Dayglow, this is not an election. I have a box full of tiptoes of various material and mixtures of them, string suspension platforms, various pucks, including ones that are solid carbon, etc.

None of these are anymore than shots in the dark.

Remember that you can saw the legs off of your listening chair or couch instead of raising the speakers. Messy, but effective.
