The Hifistay Stainless Steel Spike Double Axel is an anti-vibration spike designed to control mechanical resonances in loudspeakers, power amplifiers and source components. The design is built around Dual Motion Swing technology, which combines a swing system with ceramic ball bearings to create a dual movement that disperses micro-vibrations. It is one of four models in the Spike range from the South Korean manufacturer Hifistay, which specialises in audio accessories, racks and anti-vibration products.
The conical body is made from a combination of dural and stainless steel, ensuring high rigidity as well as load resistance. The spike measures 45 mm in diameter and its height is adjustable from 40 to 45 mm, allowing precise levelling of the component. Mounting uses an M8 thread, making the spike compatible with most common installations. Maximum load capacity reaches 70 kg per spike.
The dual swing mechanism absorbs micro-vibrations smoothly and without energy losses, reducing the transfer of resonances between the component and the floor or shelf. The result is less masking of fine detail, more stable imaging of instruments within the stereo stage, and a firmer, cleaner presentation. Combining them with spike pads and other Hifistay anti-vibration products is recommended, for example with the Ballerino 130 Triple Swing model, which complements the anti-vibration system of loudspeakers.
The South Korean brand HIFISTAY™ specialises in the development and manufacture of hi-fi audio accessories that suppress unwanted vibrations, thereby improving sound quality. Its founder and chief designer, Pyun Naiwon, started out modestly in 2002 – with a presser weight for vinyl records. From these humble beginnings, the company has grown into a business that now manufactures a complete range of anti-vibration solutions and protects its know-how with several patents. HIFISTAY’s philosophy is based on a simple realisation: sound quality is determined not only by the components themselves, but also by what they stand on. Vibrations from the floor, from the speakers and from the equipment itself can obscure details, narrow the soundstage and compromise the precision of the bass.
At the heart of the range are audio racks that utilise proprietary VHC™ (Vertical Horizon Vibration Control), X-Frame & Perfect Pointer™ and Anti-gravity™ technologies, designed to dampen vibrations in both vertical and horizontal directions. The range is complemented by mats and stands for components, spikes and spike pads, as well as weighted dampers, which can be used to fine-tune every element of the system – from turntables and sources through to amplifiers and speakers. You’ll appreciate HIFISTAY accessories whether you’re building a new system or want to extract even more clarity, tranquillity and musical precision from your current setup.
