What to use on Hardwood floors?

m1abrams · 29th July 2004, 11:33 PM

What should I use for feet for my Elf Spires to put on hardwood floors.

I want to not hurt the floors. Is felt (sp?) pads a big no no for audio?

My other option I guess would be spikes but what do you set the spikes on? If metal/stone pads with felt, then how is that better than just using felt and skipping the pads?

Not sure whether spikes or pads are better but I used pennies to protect my hardwood floors from spikes.

I use spikes that also come with metal discs that sit on the floor. These are available in Oz so should be in the US as well.
