My speakers are currently spiked on a solid concrete floor through medium weight Berber carpeting. Does anyone know if Stillpoints Ultra SS in place of the spikes provides a material improvement in isolation from vibration under these conditions?
Ryriken. You bet I will post and look forward to your input as well. My wife leaves tomorrow (Friday) for two days and my Herbies are supposed to arrive Friday - so I should be able to get in a good listen.
>>Pretty hard to get solid concrete to vibrate in the first place.<<
Nah, concrete resonates from one end to the other - its a great transport for external vibration.
I heard from a friend whose ears I trust; he spoke quite highly of the new Stillpoints with his Wilson speakers. You might email Paul Waukeen (sp?) at Stillpoints.
I was thinking of buying the SS Stillpoints. But, I recently purchased the Herbie's Cone/Spike Decoupling Gliders. My speakers weigh 215 lbs each and have 2" Audiopoint spikes on them. The speakers spikes were sitting on a carpet (no pad) over concrete. The Herbies under the spikes work great and now I am able to move these heavy speakers for better toe in etc.
