alternative to speaker stand spikes?

Check out the coupling discs sold by Adon on Audiogon. They are identical from both a material and construction standpoint to Audiopoints only much less expensive as they are made outside the US. NO SONIC DIFFERENCE at 1/4 the price.

NOT the same as Audiopoints.
NOT the same materials.
NOT the same geometries.
NOT made in the US.
DEFINITE sonic difference.

I agree with Jihley, if you are on a budget those hockey pucks can work well. They are cheap and seem to offer a bit more stability (as well as isolation) than cones.

No sonic difference; don't kid yourself. However, BIG price difference.
You do sell Audiopoints correct? That may account for your opinion; mine however is without prejudice.

I did what timrhu did; carriage bolts in lieu of spikes -- for my vandy 1c's. That's what richard vandersteen recommended to me.
