I bought a set of eight of these from someone here several years ago, and I’d like more. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

They are solid brass, and about 2” tall - the height is what I’m looking for. Seems like everything I find now is between 3/4” - 1”. Any leads appreciated…

    I am thinking those are the first set of spikes I had made many moons ago. I had quit making them in one piece like that afterwards, machining the thread took a lot of time.

    Much easier to tap a hole, and purchase the threaded rod in the length desired from McMaster Carr..

    I believe there are only 8, of those spikes in the wild. There might be 16 but I am sure you have the only 8 made. It has been a very long time ago, I don’t remember where they went.

    That all follows, and they do look identical. I do indeed have 8, and I am using them on my HNT 3.3 speakers. I am in the process of building an amp stand for the Mark Levinson, and was looking for something close to these spikes, just for visual continuity.

    Those are similar in one-piece design to what the company Starsound used to machine and sell as Audio Points. It seems there aren't as many high quality spike options out there anymore like there were 10 to 20 years ago. Because of the material and time to machine them the Audio Points spikes were costly. Starsound is still in operation but now named Libe-Vibe Audio:
