Curing Vibration in Audio Stand

Jeepers! The concrete round these parts is quite solid and inert. I have DIY concrete speaker stands for my old MA R652s. Nothing else was good enough!

 

Use spikes!!! There will be no damage to the carpet. Buy quality spikes and make sure they sit on what ever is under the carpet and underlay. No damage at all. I helped a friend do this on a Wilton carpet worth a fortune; no problem. Promise

 

You are wasting your keystrokes @Fishoutofwater . This identical advice has already been shared with the OP several times over by several different posters in this thread. He appears to have irrationally discounted it each time. It would appear he has no direct experience with how carpet spikes work and has chosen to disregard the advice of the most experienced & knowledgeable members here...

 

Just installed back. Well actually half of back per shelf to allow for air flow and cables. I cut with a saw then intalled. Much better now no more side to side swaying like a house of cards.

 

If you don't want to damage the carpet, you can still use spikes with something like Herbie's Audio Lab's Cone/Spike Puckies (Cone/Spike Puckies ). I use them under the spikes in my rack and my speaker stands. In both cases, they sound better than spiking directly to the (suspended plywood) floor.

 

They'd float on carpet just like existing legs. It's carpet over concrete basement slab.
