PVC filled with sand is really easy. Get 4 Toilet Flanges, some pVC pipe, primer and Cement. Glue the flanges to both sides of the pipes. The flanges give you something to very easily screw a top and base into. Keep the knockout in the Flange on the bottoms, remove it on the top and fill with sand. (or just fill it before putting the top flange on). Spray paint them pretty if you like.

you are still going to have the same problem with wobbling though.

For spikes, you could try to find some sort of inserts that would take a bolt. Got it! Epoxy nuts into the base. Drill a hole big enough for the bolt all the way through, then drill a hole big enough for the nut only halfway through the wood, then superglue or epoxy that nut in the wood. (have the nut be on the underside, so if they epoxy fails, they will still be held in by tension) This way you could easily adjust the height of the spikes to level your stands. If you are good with a chisel, you might be able to notch a hex shaped hole for the nut.

or, you could just periodically yell out "My turntables wobble but they don't fall down!" while mixing and call it good.
