I've purchased the type of adaptor you need at camera stores for my tripod to fit different heads. A package of two runs about $3. I found this source online for various adaptors.
adaptor studs for speaker spikes needed
I recently bought a couple of amp stands that came with these really cheesy cheap spikes. The stands are threaded for a 5/16-18 and the spikes I have and want to use are threaded 1/4-20. Any ideas as to where I kind find some adaptors that have male 1/4-20 threads to a 5/16-18 male threads??? I know that I can tap the spikes out to a 5/16-18, but that is my last resort. I know that Polycrystal sells the adaptors that I am looking for, but Polycrystal wants an arm and a leg for anything and everything. I've already checked the web sites for MCM Electronics and Parts Express with no luck there. Any info would be a great help. Thank you.

Star Sound's Audio Points are deemed by some to be the very best points available and their prices are very reasonable compared to many other brands. I use them under all components, racking system, and speakers and the sonic improvements were nothing short of amazing after the mechanical break-in period. I know it's easy to do, but one should never assume that all points/spikes are created equally. Anyway, if they do not stock your specific threading, perhaps they may be able make them for you. starsound.biz is their web-site address. -IMO |
There is a product called Helicoil that is designed to repair stripped threads. Below is a link to their web site. It's possible the conversion exists as a normal repair part, in which case it would be cheap. http://www.emhart.com/products/helicoil.html |
