Adjustable Spikes / Levelling Feet
Adjustable Spikes / Levelling Feet indicates whether individual supports can be adjusted to change the equipment’s level or support height.
Adjustment can compensate for an uneven supporting surface. The usable travel, contact shape and locking method vary. A spike or foot that can be adjusted is not automatically an isolation device, and its presence does not specify how much vibration it reduces.
Adjustable Spikes / Levelling Feet — Turntable
Levelling supports help place the turntable in its intended operating position. Use the reference surface and procedure specified for the model; the top of the plinth is not necessarily the only relevant surface. Keep all supports engaged rather than using one foot beyond its permitted travel.
Levelling is separate from cartridge alignment, tracking force and tonearm height. It does not complete those adjustments or prove that the supporting furniture is stable. Check the setting after moving the turntable or changing its supports, and follow the model’s handling instructions rather than adjusting beneath a moving platter.
Adjustable Spikes / Levelling Feet — Rack
Level the assembled rack according to its instructions and keep every required support in firm contact with the floor. Check whether adjustment is permitted under load and use suitable floor protection where specified. Uneven loading can remain a problem even when the top surface appears level.
The adjustment range does not establish the rack’s load rating or permit an unsupported extension of the feet. Secure any locking mechanism as instructed. Compare the complete setup, including wheels or alternative feet, rather than assuming all configurations retain the same height, stability and capacity.
