Josdel2, did almost the same thing i did. Follow his advice and don't worry about ruining the carpet. It will come together in very little time. When you have the rack leveled it may still take some time to penetrate. You may have to level the rack again the next day. It might take a few days before you notice the improvement. Be patient, some of these racks have to settle in. After a day or two there should be no wobble. If there is you will have to level it again. Yes, the spikes should go to the foundation unless you have wood floors. Don't use the pennies.
Foundation for the equipment rack on carpet
I just bought Atlantis Reference 5 audio rack, which is pretty heavy and stable piece of furniture. I installed spikes to place it on the carpeted floor (berber carpet to be exact). The rack is very wobbly on the carpet, so I'm thinking about either putting some kind of heavy foundation- like ceramic or marble tile on the carpet first and still use spikes, or maybe try the supplied feet instead of spikes. Should I put spikes directly on the foundation, or on the metal (pennies), and should I isolate the foundation from the carpet first? The same question is for the speakers- Paradigm Studio 100. I can forsee the "endless" possibilities here. Appreciate your opinions in advance. Regards!
