How important are spikes?

+1 @roxy54 I’m at the point where I’m just gonna ignore future emergingsoul threads — dude’s out of it and just way just out there, and where that is I have no idea and I don’t wanna know. Had enough of this nonsense. Peace out.

Interesting article that consolidates a bunch of stuff I have read before, except I didn’t previously know that spikes were created to prevent speaker cabinets from dancing!

I would like to see Mr. Varney debate Robert from Live-Vibe, the Audio Point guy, that would be fun.

I’m not debating the quantum level effects of what spikes do. Clearly you can measure anything to death and confuse an issue.

I read the article referred to above and it’s another one of these articles that is incredibly confusing and difficult to follow. At the end it does say ‘isolation is easy to perceive’ so I guess it must be true. It all boils down to this single comment, which really needs a lot more clarification I think in light of everything that was said in this article.

I believe the article does say spikes are pretty senseless.

I am failing to see anyone who has ever really said there are discernible sonic benefits to using isolatIon peripheral equipment.

It's been said here hundreds of times by many members. You are either blind, or unable to read and comprehend.
