alternative to speaker stand spikes?

Twl should also mention he works for the company that sells Audiopoints don't you think?

Check out the coupling discs sold by Adon on Audiogon. They are identical from both a material and construction standpoint to Audiopoints only much less expensive as they are made outside the US. NO SONIC DIFFERENCE at 1/4 the price.

NOT the same as Audiopoints.
NOT the same materials.
NOT the same geometries.
NOT made in the US.
DEFINITE sonic difference.

I agree with Jihley, if you are on a budget those hockey pucks can work well. They are cheap and seem to offer a bit more stability (as well as isolation) than cones.

No sonic difference; don't kid yourself. However, BIG price difference.
You do sell Audiopoints correct? That may account for your opinion; mine however is without prejudice.
