Out on the tiles...with speaker spikes.

I've just recently moved into my new house, which is entire tiled. I want to continue using the spikes my speaker and stands have, but don't want to scratch the tile.

I know several companies make little 'feet' to go under the spikes. Does anyone have any experience with these? Which ones seem to be the best as far a keeping the speaker stable, not raising them too much and obviously not damaging the tile??

Thanks for any help you can give me!

The Sound Anchor stainless steel / polyester felt pads are excellent. I am using twenty four of them to protect our new India slate floor in the listening / living room.

I have had great success with the Coupling Disk made by Star Sound Technology. I use them on my hardwood floor, on my audio rack (so as not to pit the wood or metal) and on the bottom of some of my equipment.

You also might want to see if the company that makes the spikes that you use make a comparable product.

Use coins under the spikes. Only 25 cents each.

Coins are good and almost invisible, use Canadian coins, very well made but way cheaper, each one will actually cost you 0.157349 USD at today's exchange rate. Hockey pucks are good but highly visible. Try it without any spikes, you may not hear a difference and may start a reversal of trends in the audiophile community. From the Canadian mid-fi trenches. Good day.
