Speaker stand spikes ~2” long?

For clearance here...I work with Starsound/Audiopoints..but I also have my own company Tone Acoustics. I started years ago to prove a point that this techology will work on most anything that touches the floor..cello and bass and bass clarinet for sure..anyway we use brass the metal of music. I am a fan of what we do. Tom

"A simple cone shape of just one primary angle allows energy to go down but will also some allow some energy to be reflected from the floor back into that singular geometry introducing interfering energy into the signal path. Tom"  

After much experiment I found this to be true. Now using solid cones to leather pads over suspended hardwood. For the sonics of my room, way better than threaded gliders or rubber feet.

The two primary variables for audio cones are material, size and shape. Oops, that’s three variables! The cones should be extremely hard, not like brass or aluminum or carbon fiber which are pretty low on the totem pole 🗿but like tempered steel and NASA grade ceramics. The cones should be ballistic shaped with the very best shape looking like the tip of an ICBM 🚀 Hey, I just described the Super DH (Diamond Hardness) Cone! The Jumbo DH Cone is the same ceramic materiel and the same size but not quite as ballistic in shape as the Super. And it’s performance is not quite as high as the Super but almost.

The super hard materials are to bright..they tend to make the soundstage crawl up the wall in front of the listener. All materials vibrate and the harder materials have a higher velocity and make the air vibrate faster which makes for more listening fatigue. A simple cone geometry allows for reflected energy to re enter into the system.Tom

Funny guy, obviously you’ve never experienced super hard materials. What do you expect from someone who doesn’t think isolation is real?  It’s real and it’s spectacular!
