Point proved, I think!

One person thinks spikes couple. Another thinks they decouple.
Someone else wants to consider the box containing the drivers (the
"speaker") separately from the room it's heard in.

Some would put a record deck on an absorbent mat. Some on wooden
cones then on a glass shelf then on more cones, or maybe spikes. But
I think they'd all leave the deck's suspended sub-chassis alone?

Audiophle logic.
