I replaced my spikes entirely with RDC spikes, cups and foam inserts, the difference it made was huge, all of a sudden my speakers had bass and the treble end of things was much more detailed and delicate, one of the best upgrapdes I ever made.
See my other thread for Atacama based stand filling experiments; I'll update as asoon as I've tried it out. The concensus is sands (kiln dried, fine as you can get it) a great place to start

Hi Martin
When you say you replaced your spiks , were these the ones on the base of the stands / carpet or the one's at the top of the stands between the stand and the speaker , are they these http://www.audiooasis.co.uk/en/prodi...LE-ACC-IS-RDC1
if not do you have a link to the ones you have used please ?
Thanks

Yeah, I replaced the spikes at the bottom of the stands with:
RDC 1 cones (6mm thread)
RDC cone cups
RDC combi bases
Which provided a tremendous upgrade to the way my speakers sound. I'm sure that even if you just used the new spikes it would make a big difference.
Also, I recently removed the gel pads that came with my stands (the Atacam ones) and this was a not insignificant jump in detail retreival for my speakers. Alt hough I can't universally vouch for this bit as it depends on your gear but you should definitely try both with and without (I had them on for about 10 months before trying )
I was worried about the lack of grip for my speakers and so used some of my mates Plastidip spray (in black). A few coats of this means my speakers aren't stuck down but they ain't going anywhere if knocked either, really is great and useful stuff!
Hope this helps.
