[QUOTE="Drifter, post: 1171068, member: 13448"] Spikes below speakers are important if the surface is uneven, i.e. carpet. Something like the SVS Soundpath feet makes quite a difference to perceived tightness of bass - I have tried all my subs with and without them and I swear by them. For speakers you only want the cone to move, nothing else. Isolation below turntables can prevent a shaking surface from interfering with the stylus tracking the grooves. Same applies to cd-players, but these are less prone to vibration. For amps, I have tried all sorts of isolation including spikes, rubber discs, half cut squash balls and silicon wegdes. Some of them look cool but I have never been able to detect any improvement in sound. [/QUOTE]
