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).

Quality + Service + Solid Advice = Herbie’s Audio
I’ve been a dedicated customer for decades. Although many of the unique tweaks are unavailable at the moment, the excellent Threaded Stud Gliders continue to be the heart of the company. The Gliders not only protect our hardwood floors but offer excellent sound/vibration absorption.
United StatesThreaded stud glider.
I have installed two sets of threaded stud gliders on large speakers (100 lb +) and found that they tremendously reduce the effort of moving the speakers, as well as avoiding scratching the floor. They also are very helpful in leveling the speakers, especially on uneven floors. A great product!
United StatesThreaded Stud Glider
Very effective product for moving heavy speakers on a solid floor especially if you are like me and always "tweaking" positioning of the speakers!
DenmarkGreat improvement
I bought a set of Giant Threaded Gliders for my B&W 802 Nautilus (75kg each). Excellent service and communication throughout the process. Unfortunately the tax-expences entering Denmark added more than a 100 dollars to the price :-( (Approx. 25%) I had a skilled friend making custom "receivers" replacing the original "ball-rollers. Standing om their new feets it was allmost ridiculously easy to dance the heavy speakers around on the wooden floor trying different positions, toe-inns an so forth. And the sound improvement.... I'm not exaggerating - a positive lift in every aspect . Tighter bass, more detailed mid and hights. Improved soundstage. More air in the sound. Couldn't have hoped for more... That said - Some of the improvement is most likely due to the easy better positioning of the speakers - But that does not change my joy of of this investment. Highly recommended.

NorwayExcellent service!
I ordered a wrong size, the return and change was easy and uncomplicated. The gliders work fine!
United StatesThreaded Stud Glider
Replaced the spikes on VTI audio rack. Now the rack is easy to move. A quality item well worth the cost! Sadly shipping takes forever.
New ZealandGreat isolation solution for floorstanders
An absolute must for floorstanding speakers. Not only do they sound better than the OEM-supplied spikes, they make it far easier and safer to adjust the position of the speakers.
United KingdomFantastic addition to my floorstanders
I wasn't expecting any major improvement to the sound of my speakers (Dali Rubicon 6) as I tried another well known, much more expensive and bulkier isolator and was disappointed. The main reason I decided to buy these little gliders was to move the speakers effortlessly and they do a great job at that but surprisingly they have reduced the boomy bass and improved the high frequencies, these now sound more natural and less harsh. I was expecting to pay customs and import duties in the UK but I didn't which was an added bonus. Highly recommended.
United StatesGreat as usual
The gliders worked just as I hoped.
United StatesGood improvement . Not massive , but well worthwhile & recommended .
Re: Giant Threaded Stud Gliders Shortly after upgrading the crossovers in my Spatial Audio M3 Turbo S's I installed these footers . Which makes it difficult to attribute to which upgrade any improvement lies . After some time my opinion is the lack of muddiness in the bass is my primary improvement from the footers . The crossovers improved several qualities , but it's possible some of the attack speed and sound stage clarity comes from the footers . Speakers are easier to move and level . Lesson learned : Upgrade one thing at a time to gain certainty .
United StatesDon’t be a Audiophile Neanderthal
I get the necessity of isolating speaker stands from the floor. Your floors pick up sound waves that can be transmitted to speakers. But I never understood spikes. They’re like a vestige of the Neanderthal days of hi-fi, they damage hardwood floors and make it difficult to make fine adjustments to speaker placement. Not to mention they aren’t wifey friendly. Herbie’s Threaded Stud Gliders are effective at the isolation job and make it a cinch to slide the stands / speakers to the optimum position. They come in a variety of lengths and both metric and SAE thread sizes. I took the spikes my stand OEM provided to the hardware store where they had a device to measure spike thread size and then ordered an exact fit from Herbie’s. They’re well made and work great.
United StatesGlider feet are convenient and effective
these feet work very well to isolate my diy open baffle speakers from the oiled hardwood floor they sit on, which is quite resonant. They're also a great solution to prevent scratching the floor since these speakers need to be moved out for critical listening and then back in so they don't completely dominate the room. Bravo, great design Herbie!
