I'm thinking Herbie's threaded stud glider may be a nice step up. Thanks for the 'heads up' on them.
Have you thought of starting a "Herbie's" review thread? We've sort of morphed this one into that.
Ha! Yeah, we have kind of done that, huh?

If I may continue the digression for a moment more, Just an additional note, I've had a pair of Herbie's threaded stud gliders on the pedestals for my big Dynaudios for about 8 years now. They make a notable improvement over the little spikey things that Dyn included with the speakers.



Another product I've been seriously thinking about trying are the IsoAcoustics Gaia IIIs under the stands for the Harbeths. Be interesting to do comparison of them and the Herbies gliders.

Okay..enough digression.
