The Gaia feet work very nicely on hardwood floors, I don't think they would do anything on carpet even with spikes- the rubber foot needs to be on the floor. Perhaps placing concrete or stone pavers on top of the carpet then the speakers on top of those would give the Gaia feet a chance to do their thing. When I and a buddy put them on my KEF R7 Meta speakers we heard and instant improvement in the tightness of the base.
I was going to unscrew the tips of the spikes on that amp and put cork pads on the bottoms of them, but the rack shelf its on is bowed just enough I had to adjust one of the spikes a bit. I have an assortment of rubber fert I've bought from 1/2" to 1" tall. Ive used them on various tube amp and preamp builds, but I liked how the spikes looked on that compact ST-35 amp.I use those as a base for my main system which sits on an antique table where the surface is bowed a bit front to back. This allows the components to sit flat despite the bowing. Just need to be careful when moving them that the spike doesn't come out of the base and damage the wood.
I also use the aluminum feet below to replace the existing feet on some components to get a uniform look and height between devices.
I'm one that just can't deal with reading the spines of the albums sideways. My racks take up more room, but I can flip through them like one does at a record store. That suits me better.
With the phone, you can rotate the image. So that's nice.
I believe that was humor.
It was a joke... I have seen people on the internet claiming Canare Star Quad 4S11 wire needs 400 hours to"break in" and sound good, while the oxygen free 4S11G only needs 250 hours... silly people, wire doesn't need to break in.

Back in the 80's there was an article in a Stereo magazine about speaker wire and the writer wrote about Monster Cable and other fancy speaker cables and how people were spending all this money on them.It was a joke...

I bought the cables from Performance Audio in Salt Lake City: 4S11 is $1.70 a foot, 12 feet cost $20.40. The 4S11G was $2.31 a foot, 12 feet cost me $27.72-- still pretty cheap for decent wire.
I used that cable back in the 80's... it eventually turned green all the way through (after about 12 years)
