Calling all cone/spike/vibrations gurus!!!

Posted by bartc on October 22, 2003 at 06:47:22:
Moray's post above raises an intriguing question for me, which I hope someone can answer: Is it better for coupling to a floor using any form or cone or spike to a)have point touch floor without intervening layer, b) add an intervening layer such as a coin or washer or flat metal piece, c)glue or otherwise fix the cone/spike to the floor or base???
Moray's idea sounds as though he likes fixing the cone to an interface piece. I was wondering what would happen if I epoxied my cone point to a floor tile base. Would I get better, worse, or no difference in the vibration coupling effect? This is not a theoretical issue for me, as I'm seeking to stabilize a DIY speaker stand design in this manner.
