Actually I prefer the sound/performance gains using the APCD coupling discs between the point surface and wood, poly or glass. The fact you have the same material as a intercepting surface collection area actually sounds better to me, than merely dumping the collected resonance from the Audiopoint tip directly into wood, poly or glass. Surface tension and mass all seem to make the point more or less reactive as does the first type of material the point comes in contact. I have found the point tip sounds better without the APCD disc when in direct contact with concrete floor or in direct contact with a metal chassis weighing more than 15 pounds. Anything weighing less than 15 pounds benefits audibly with the use of the disc at the point tip.Tom..I am a Starsound dealer.
Sonic inpact of spike/floor protectors
Just wondering:
We all know about the sonic benefits of using spikes under our speakers. But doesn't putting those little puck-like floor protectors between the spikes and the floor negate the benefits of using the spikes? Since the idea behind the spikes is to mechanically ground the speakers by concentrating the contact point of the speaker/floor interface, it seems to me that by using the floor protectors we are defeating the benefits. Why not skip the spikes altogether, if damaging the floor is out of the question? What am I missing here? Thoughts please.
