[QUOTE="Katji, post: 952736, member: 17768"] hhhh Yes, well, that's what I believe :) - believe as in, my understanding of even basic physics is sketchy, but I can only imagine that spikes have a coupling effect, and that rubbery / foam rubber / elastic material has a decoupling effect. I've never seen any machinery or whatever where spikes are used to reduce vibrations being transmitted to electronic devices mounted on it, they all use rubber grommets, something like that. (Although that refers to electronics, not speakers.) "Confusion reigns" as in, find any thread on any hi-fi/audio forum where it is not confused. That article - that story...I can't remember if it was there or some product schpiel I saw after it, that said something like...the vibrations reach the point of the spike and then sort of bounce back up, instead of being transmitted any further. :) Quite unnecessary. It is all quite easily explained, even for me, and understood, in terms of resonance and mass and so on. [/QUOTE]
