Salamander Designs Archetype Mega Spikes

Added these to my 4-shelf Salamander Archetype rack. They are extremely heavy duty. Like the rack itself, it takes a little extra care to measure carefully to make sure everything is level. Carefully tighten lock nuts after everything is level. Then, everything is very stable and steady. For hardwood floors, I added Herbie's Audio Lab Cone/Spike Decoupling Gliders. Good combination. Spikes improve sound quality over furnished rubber feet.

Pros: Heavy duty

Cons: Floor protector disks are pointless; use Herbie's Audio Lab Cone/Spike Decoupling Gliders

Great add on item for Salamander Designs A5 Archetype. I had no problems installing them securely and they are rock solid anchoring the rack in the carpet. I am not using a turntable for this rack so I can't speak to the stability in that regard.

Pros: Well made, easy to install, rock solid

Cons: None

The spikes threaded loosely to the A5, which added to the instability of the rack. I hear footsteps through my turntable when the spikes are in use.

Pros:

Cons:

These spikes are fantastic and really complete the Salamander Archetype audio rack. I'm using them on carpet and it's a wonderful combination. Very heavy duty construction and helps with component isolation. Do yourself a favor and order them the same time your ordering your rack. Could also be used on hardwood flooring with the included pieces to rest the spikes on so no harm comes to your flooring. Very highly recommended. :)

Pros:

Cons:

Great addition to Salamander Designs A5 Archetype

Pros: Beefey

Cons: None

These are solid, large spikes. They were simple to install on my Archetype 5 shelf and they ensure that the shelf stays firm on my carpeted floor. That's all there is to it.

Pros: Great build quality Easy install

Cons: Pricey
