Name: Warren Holland, Oakton, VA Review: I just bought six of your giant cone/decoupling gliders with brass inserts and six of your stainless threaded superior spikes. In short, they are just outstanding! I bought the brass inserts because I thought they would dull the stainless cone points the least and because they offer another dissimilar material coupling for attenuation purposes. The combination made a big difference in the bass of my large floor standing speakers which reside on a raised floor structure. I consider the price paid as more than fair for the quality of materials and engineering that went into the production of the devices. In our pursuit of good sound we find many products of questionable engineering and build quality. It is refreshing to see soundly engineered and carefully crafted products such as yours are. Well done! Also, the threading chart was quite useful, the 20mm m6 fit my Vienna acoustics Mahler speakers perfectly. I could not be happier! Name: Paul Sanders, Bainbridge Island, Washington Review: I put the gliders under the speakers (decided to forget about maple boards, at least for now). And, I immediately heard improvements, better bass response, and overall, smoother sound.
But, the final judgement is my wife's who is blessed with wonderful hearing. The system was playing when she got home from work, and I asked if she noticed anything about the music (Corelli Concerti Grossi). She said "yes, it sounds SWEETER." She couldn't articulate anything beyond "sweeter" because she's not into all the audio babble. But, believe me, the woman can HEAR!
Thank you!
Added:
I just completed some extensive tests, using all the conceivable combinations of the devices I own, under my speakers. Best combo by a significant margin is simply the Big Fat Gliders under the speakers and VPI weights on top of the speakers, supported by 4 smaller dots. The BFG are smoother, offer more inner detail, and overall clarity used alone, than any of the combos. The weights and dots on top enhance that in subtle ways.
The Black Diamonds sound "hard" and splashy to me now, no matter how and where I use them. I'll probably sell them, along with the maple boards. Name: Robert Koch, Florida Review: Nice improvement. (with Tyler D1 loudspeakers)
