Computer Design And State Of The Art Engineering Applied To The Most Basic Of Hi-Fi Components

High-end Hi-Fi stand, support and isolation component manufacturer Track Audio, have released a new computer designed stainless steel replacement spike.  While the humble spike might not seem like much to get excited about, this most basic of hi-fi components actually has a significant effect on the performance of a hi-fi or audio visual system.  The spike was first introduced as a method of ensuring the stability of a loudspeaker or equipment rack while also providing both a ‘route to ground’ for any mechanical vibration within the component and a degree of isolation from external vibration. 

Track Audio have used high end computer modelling together with over 30 years of expertise to develop the most effective spike profile.  The resulting product is precision machined from the highest grade stainless steel ensuring incredibly fine tolerances.  The result is that the spikes can easily be tightened with no play in the threads, thereby preventing micro-vibrations, which would interfere with the operation of the spike.

As an ISO9001 registered company, the sourcing of materials, precision of manufacture and traceability of all parts and processes ensure the quality is second to none.  Track Audio offers a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee on all parts.  Starting at just £45 for a set of eight spikes, this is an inexpensive way of upgrading the performance, the appearance as well as the ease of setting up and adjusting a hi-fi or home theatre system.
