Sub stand?

Where do you find Timkens?

I have a store called Bearings & Drives located in my city. I am not really sure what this type of business is called.

On Audio Asylum I made mention that Timkens don't seem to like contact with Maple. This has proven to be an erroneous conclusion.

One thing to note about the Timkens for the uninitiated is that they form a stationary footer and do not move at all as you would assume a bearing would do. Also, if you try this be sure you know that the Timken part numbers are purposely mismatched. The bearing vendor may point this out, but the part numbers mentioned are correct.

One last thing, I like using the Timkens in conjunction with small DH Cones. They provide more "snap" to the presentation.

This tweak was pointed out to me by Ric Cummins of Room Lens fame. For use under electronics he recommends placing Timken assembly atop a granite slab and 2"X2" plexiglas/posterboard/plexiglas footers. I haven't tried this yet myself.

The Timken assembly photo I posted on Audio Asylum includes O-rings which I added to the mix.

Would a nut and bolt store have these? And how much are they? Which DH cones do you use with them?

I doubt you would ever find these at a standard hardware store. They are definitely worth going out of your way to find. There is a specific "Small" DH Cone size. Were you able to see my photo at AA? My cones are older and of a different color than the current model. These I believe sell for $20 per set of three. I paid about $45 per 3 pc set for the Timkens, so it will cost you approximately $65 for one set under your subwoofer.

Please let me know how these work out for you in this application if you give it a go. If they don't work there I am pretty sure you will find a component that will benefit from their use. In fact I am pretty sure that the more of these that find their way into your system, the better your system will sound. One thing I am positive about is the Timkens under floor standing loudspeakers are quite effective. I also have a set between my DAC and transport which has proveen to be an effective location.

Alright on the DH Cones I can get those easy. Im just looking for those bearings. Im going to have to call around.
