Stillpoint component stand with Verity Parsifals


I found a 6 year old post singing the praises of putting a stillpoint component rack under Verity Parsifals. I am thinking of doing the same thing. Just making sure I do this right. The thread of the bolt under the veritys fits a stillpoint, so I take it you screw 4 stillpoints under the speaker and put them on four inverted risers that come with the component rack. Is this how it works?

I am still trying to figure how I would set up a stand under my speaker on carpet. Would I just put four mini inverted risers on the carpet and place the stand on it?
Decided to forgo the stands and just ordered 8 x Stillpoints Ulta Aluminum. Let's see of good things will happen to my speakers.
Installed 8 ultra's aluminum under my Verities. Note that I always assume all tweaks are snakeoil until proven otherwise and sat down with zero expectations. Also I have had little succes with vibration control so far in my system. I am happy to report this has all changed with the Ultra's. Unbelieveble - big difference. More detail, and somehow a "cleaner" sound. I have carpet on concrete and was using spikes before. I can only hypothesize energy was previously reflected back into the cabinets, that now gets dissipated in the stillpoints. Keepers.
Tubegroover, when I posed my original question I was not aware of the Ultra's and considering to do what you are doing, i.e. put two stands under my Verities and use dampers and risers. I found out about the Ultra's and Bruce @ stillpoint confirmed they would outperform the stands + dampers so I passed on the stands and went down the Ultra path instead. Additional benefit is I don't find the stands particulary aestehetically appealing, whereas no such issues exists with the Ultra's. I suspiciously high number of stands have been showing up on audiogon lately, so I suspect folks are swapping stands for Ultra's. Amazing how we always find ways to sink more money into this hobby.
There are aluminum and stainless steel versions. The former are listed at $160 each, the latter I believe are $200. Not cheap.
When all is said and done the ultra work out cheaper as the component stands, and are supposed to outperform them. Aestetically, the ultras also have a leg up
You take off the brass spikes and screw on the ultra's. The ultra's themselves have a hardhat screwed on allowing you to level the speaker.
1 inch would be a stretch. Between the thread on the speaker itself and the ultra's may be 0.5 inch.
