I bought a set of eight of these from someone here several years ago, and I’d like more. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
They are solid brass, and about 2” tall - the height is what I’m looking for. Seems like everything I find now is between 3/4” - 1”. Any leads appreciated…

That all follows, and they do look identical. I do indeed have 8, and I am using them on my HNT 3.3 speakers. I am in the process of building an amp stand for the Mark Levinson, and was looking for something close to these spikes, just for visual continuity.“Human beings are born with different capacities.

Those are similar in one-piece design to what the company Starsound used to machine and sell as Audio Points. It seems there aren't as many high quality spike options out there anymore like there were 10 to 20 years ago. Because of the material and time to machine them the Audio Points spikes were costly. Starsound is still in operation but now named Libe-Vibe Audio:

Mark the owner retired, which sucks because his shop was about 10 minutes from my house. -
One of the things I love about this forum is that we all seem to have bottomless totes of cables, connectors, tubes, components and whatnot. So when the call goes out for something “off the beaten path”, someone digs into one of those totes, or digs to the back of that closet and comes up with the item.
Such was the case for me in this thread. Apparently, I missed a meeting on spikes, because it’s almost impossible to find spikes >1” any more. However, @F1nut dug into his stash and found EXACTLY what I was looking for - a set of 8 custom made, solid brass, 2” spikes. These things probably weigh 1/2lb each, and have a beautiful long taper. In need of a bit of buffing, which I did today in about an hour. Got them installed, and they are perfect. This frees up my other spikes for an amp stand.
Thanks Jesse - you're the best!
