Name: Benjamin To, Hong Kong Review: I just wanted to email you to say how amazed and delighted I am with the improvements I got using your Cone/Spike Decoupling Gliders as interface between my hard wooden floor and the conical spikes of my Von Schweikert VR4jr speakers. I was expecting these Cone/Spike Decoupling Gliders to just improve the bass on my VR4jrs, which in my room, can sound a bit boomy on certain CDs. Well, it improved the bass alright, but more than that, these Gliders brought a big all-round improvement to detail & sound-stage which I was not expecting. The improvements I heard are not subtle, but is unmistakable and clear on first listening. I got similar improvements when using the Cone/Spike Decoupling Gliders on my stand mounted Linn Sara speakers.
You will know how happy I have been with your other products, Isocup & ball, Tenderfeet etc. So I should not be surprised at how these Cone/Spike Decoupling Gliders perform. But one thing I would like to emphasis, and to say Thank you again, is how much I appreciate your business principle to just make what you rightly say, is a fair return on material investment & labour, while aiming to keep prices as low as possible. In the audio market place, this principle is unfortunately sorely lacking, as most other suppliers think nothing of charging exhorbitant margins. So thank you again Steve. Name: Robert Hart, Fort Lauderdale, Florida Review: Replaced the decouplers under my Maggie 3.5Rs. It's like the difference between digital and analog. My source is a Raysonic 228 with 4X 6922 output tubes. The additional texture and warmth are hard to believe. Name: Mark L., Florida Review: Well I installed the Cone/Spike Decoupling Gliders--removed the flat feet and added the spikes w/the gliders (KEF Reference 205/2's on hardwood floor), leveled the speakers and the improvement in sound was immediately audible. Everything tightened up nicely.
Very impressed Steve! Name: Jose L. Catalin, Spain Review: With the gliders in action the bottom end is rounder and tighter. Bass notes on pianos sound with a lot of power making this instrument a lot more real. Name: Bill McDonald, Troy, New York Review: I never realized how bad my floor (bonus room over garage) vibration problem was with spikes through carpet to subfloor, 80 lb. speakers. The small Cone/Spike Gliders are fantastic. These Gliders have made a change equal to adding a new component!! Name: B. Hodgetts, Wellington, New Zealand Review: I recently ordered some spike decouplers for use with my electrostatic speakers and had excellent results. Thanks Steve! Name: Lev Akdemir, Illinois Review: Got the goods today and am VERY happy. The footers took care of my component and speaker issues instantly. I'm good to go. just wanted to thank you for the outstanding product *and service*. will pass along the word that Herbie's rocks! cheers my friend! Name: Brent Tuthill, Hendersonville, North Carolina Review: I put the Gliders under my LR main speakers which are towers. I did this after installing Tenderfeet under all electronics. Again, additional improvement to the sound could be heard. It just keeps getting better and better with every addition of Herbie's isolation devices. Name: Chris Centlivre Review: I wanted to let you know I got the package today. Once again I was suprised by the amount of improvement in every facet of my system. What I notice the most is what I would describe as an iron fisted placement of every instrument. And much more detail jumps out. Subtle changes in dynamics are more apparent. I listened to Miles Davis At The Blackhawk tonight and the subtle dynamics I'm trying to describe were much more apparent in Miles' control of his horn. In hindsight, all of these improvements make sense because by removing vibration, you remove variations in phase which 'smear' the soundstage. You never realize the veils that exist until they're removed I guess. But I have to say that another significant veil has been removed. Thanks again Steve for your help and your suggestions which were dead on (Tenderfeet and Cone/Spike Decoupling Gliders). Name: Lawrence Boden Review: If you use spikes and want to adjust toe-in, you gotta have these.
