{"product_id":"viablue-qtc-spikes","title":"ViaBlue QTC Spikes (Set of 4)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ViaBlue QTC Spikes are decoupling spikes that let speakers or components rest on a single small point instead of their whole footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA spike reduces the contact area with the surface to a single point. Disruptive vibrations from the cabinet or chassis are bundled at that point instead of being transmitted broadly across the shelf, sideboard or floor – the surface can resonate and boom less. The four QTC Spikes in the set also come with generous 25-millimetre stainless steel washers that protect sensitive surfaces like parquet or lacquered furniture from the spike tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get four spikes plus four protective washers that you can simply place under your speaker, turntable or amplifier without any screwing. The set suits components that have so far stood on soft rubber feet and noticeably resonate, as well as floor-standing speakers that tend to boom on a wooden floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho are the QTC Spikes suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUseful for floor-standing speakers, turntables and amplifiers on a shelf, sideboard or floor plate, where more contact with the surface is unwanted. On very soft carpet without a solid base, spikes lose some of their effect – there, a solid platform or an absorber like the UFO XL gets you further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small, inexpensive accessory with a clear, plausible function: less contact area, less resonance in the surface below. No miracle cure, but an honest improvement wherever a shelf or sideboard has been booming so far.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: decoupling spike, single point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersion: set of 4 incl. 4 stainless steel washers Ø 25 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: black or silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse: speakers, turntables, amplifiers and other components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: no screwing, freestanding under the component\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScope of delivery: 4 spikes, 4 protective washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I mount the QTC Spikes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo tools needed: the spikes are simply placed freestanding under the component's feet or housing, with the included stainless steel washers underneath to protect the floor. No screwing is needed with this version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the stainless steel washers for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey spread the point pressure of the spike tip over a larger area, protecting parquet, laminate or lacquered furniture surfaces from pressure marks. On stone floors or sturdy floor plates you can also leave them off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo spikes make an audible difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey don't change the sound of the component itself, but reduce how much the surface underneath resonates. On a booming wooden floor or a thin shelf, the effect is often clearly noticeable; on a solid stone slab, hardly at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo the QTC Spikes also fit under a turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, as long as the deck doesn't have its own fixed, integrated foot solution. For very light or vibration-sensitive decks, we recommend a quick chat beforehand so the chassis balance is preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the ViaBlue QTC Spikes at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we tell you honestly whether spikes will actually help with your surface, instead of recommending them across the board.
