What should I use between spikes and wood floor?


My new (mostly used) system is almost complete. I was lucky enough to find a pair of Osiris stands for my new Green Mountain Europas, but I need advice regarding the spikes which came with the stands. Are there any products which work particularly well protecting the hardwood floor without hurting the sonics?

Thanks in advance!

I use short spent pistol shell casings.Plenty sizes shapes and use softer alloys in aluminum or brass. Polish up very nice. Spike sets through neck and flash hole on primer anvil. Taper of the spike self-limits at the flash hole keeping it from pushing out the dead primer.If you want weight distibuted on more floor area a larger spent shell such as .44spcl/mag/.45acp are very common and easy to trim down w/Weiss snips if needed.
