Nifty glider replaces threaded spikes or cones for loudspeaker or rack isolation and mobility with superb lateral stability. (With an efficient decoupling approach, spikes are not really needed at all.) Fiberglass reinforced dBNeutralizer-filled vinyl base with smooth polymer bottom handles virtually any weight load on bare or carpeted floor. With jam nut to lock-in height adjustment. (Superb also for use as turntable or amplifier feet.)
Dimensions: width: 1.3" (33.3mm) · fully mounted height: ≈ .4" (10mm)

Giant Threaded Stud Glider: Same as above with threaded stud embedded with fiberglass-reinforced dBNeutralizer into large Magic Slider. Broad footprint provides superior lateral stability, with ample dBNeutralizer "beef" to isolate the heaviest speakers in the most severe vibrational conditions (nearly five times more vibration-absorbing dBNeutralizer than regular Threaded Stud Gliders).

Superior to IsoAcoustic Gaia feet
In my experience, isolation products are perhaps the best investment you can make in your hifi system. I purchased the Herbie's large threaded stud gliders for my CSS subwoofers. The subs performed so well I tried the gliders on my GR Research MTM Encore towers in place of my IsoAcoustic Gaia III feet. To my ear, the Herbie's are a distinct improvement over the Gaia III's, particularly in the depth and detail of the soundstage. I will likely try the Gaia's again to make sure I'm not dreaming up the difference, but regardless the Herbie's are at least as good as the Gaia's for half the price. Plus you can easily slide the Herbie's around to adjust position and toe, where the Gaia's are much more difficult to move. Highly recommended.
United StatesHerbie’s Threaded Stud Glider
I have purchased numerous sets of Herbie’s stud gliders for floorstanding speakers and speaker stands. They are well made and make it very easy to move speakers and stands. They are excellent at isolating speakers from hard wood floors. I highly recommend Herbie’s stud gliders.
United StatesThreaded Stud Glider
Bought these for my son's speakers on a bare floor. The gliders transformed their sound like I knew they would since I have Hebie's isolated cones under my speakers on a carpeted floor. Conclusion-always isolate speakers from the floor.
United StatesDifficult to say, but…
I added three products at once: gliders for my rack, tenderfeet for my integrated and the discs to go on my dac and integrated. It’s difficult to say which product is doing what, but the overall sonic improvement was huge.
United StatesBig Improvement Over Spikes
With original spikes underneath my WLM loudspeakers on wood floor, sub frequencies in my room were uneven – too much in spots, dead in other spots. I replaced the spikes with the Threaded Stud Gliders and immediately noticed improvement – the low end is now even, tight, extended and full all around the room. Bonus: they're now easy to move, either for fine tuning placement or cleaning underneath.
United StatesThe best solution for moving racks
The giant threaded gliders works great on my Solid Steel rack. Perfect fit and movable on carpeting. Weight total is about 130 lbs. One always needs to get to the back side of components, so an easily moveable rack is a must. Although quite expensive, they are the best way to go in my opinion. I will be saving up for the regular gliders for one of my GoldenEar Triton speakers which occasionally needs to be moved. Highly recommended!
ItalyThis product is great
I waited an entire month or so for the Threaded Stud Glider to arrive but it was all the way worth! Now, my Dynaudio Focus 220 have richer bass, great image and full sound. First class tuning! Thank you Herbie's Audio Lab for such fine accessories!
United StatesThey work well to isolate the speaker and make them easier to move.
I got the threaded stud gliders for my Magnepan 3-series speakers to isolate them from the carpeted floor and to make them easier to move. They came through on both counts, giving more clarity to the bass and making them much easier to move around.
United StatesSliders
They are exceptionally well made and work well.Would recommend them to anyone who needs to be able to slide an equipment rack Rich in Va.
CanadaBetter Than Expected
Got the Threaded Stud Gliders to replace the stock spikes on my PSB Imagine T2 floors standers. I wanted to decouple the speakers from the floor in my listening room (carpet over concrete). The Gliders are an amazing improvement. Better sound stage - wider and deeper. Clarity and pace are noticeably better also. Should have done this sooner! Strongly recommended.
ItalyThreaded Stud Gliders
I got the Threaded Stud Glider for my speakers stands: the sound was improved with excellent isolation, better than with the original spikes that came with the stands. Now moving the speakers for toeing in is a breeze. Robert has been also extremely kind and available to provide his advice over email. A+
United StatesEasier, better and more versatile than spikes
I've used several sets of these gliders under different speaker stands supporting a variety of speakers over the years, and think they really make the most sense for most people. Currently, they're delivering a notable improvement with Solid Steel stands supporting KEF LS50 speakers, and make it easy to position the speakers -- on solid floor or carpet -- with zero hassle. They might even be an option for those who wish to pull their speakers out to the optimum listening position, and then push them back when their room needs to serve other purposes.
