heady 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 Ha ha. I must be out of touch with hifi, cos I never heard of using pumice before. Anyway, you should be able to find them in Watsons, Guardians etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flemingoh 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 if i remember correctly, there was some thread on echoloft a few months ago on using pumice stone for this purpose ... according to the echoloft guys, apparently quite a number of Guardian pharmacies ran out of pumice stone after the thread expanded!!!

pegasus21 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 Interesting. I know about lifting the speakers off the surface but I didn't know they were called pumice stones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

viix 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 (edited) okay, seems like you are looking for using the pumice with the bearings as feets? I saw plenty of pumices at larger guardians and watsons. Citylink Mall Guardian, Bishan Guardian and Takashimaya Watsons has alot. Sizes are about the size of those thick tissue packs, not those 25cent coffee shop kind. Are those what you are looking for? Anyway I'm using soundcare superspikes for my speakers and XS. I can't discern any difference from the soundcare feet on my XS, although I noticed a little improvement when changing to a suspended rack with the feets still on.

Are they expensive.? the big ones look just about the right height i need.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lengcm 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 I can't remember the exact costs of the cerabase. It was between $700-$800 dollars. However be careful when you are handling the cerabase, if you drop it on your equipment, it may just leave more than a dent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cerabase are a few hundred a set of 4 and can cost up to a grand just for speakers. Check with MBD for latest prices. The soundcare superspikes are cheaper, from $80(or 90) onwards from musiclink for 4 speaker feets. Soundcare On the otherhand, you can use threaded spikes (cheaper options) available in most adelphi shops for under $60.

lengcm 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 Guess if you are really on a budget, then go ahead with viix recommendations. If your speakers are not that heavy, you could try the Cerapuc for your rack. For your speakers you can go with spikes. I am using spikes for my speakers. Only for the rack, I use the Cerabase.
