Nah, bone dry inside. I don't know what the salt content of kiln dried sand is, but hopefully it's not a lot. It was originally meant to be a second system but is now my main due to a move and room size not really appropriate for floorstanders. I can't be bothered to empty and sort, far too much...

Are they the super dreadnaughts?

That makes me feel more settled, especially the end bit! Good enough for me!

I use bluetack, but there was still ringing. The bag of sand cost me £3.66 so I thought it was worth a punt!

Having seen Gray's comment, I don't think I'll bother since filling is done from the top rear with no way to get inside and microfiber about. They cost me £50, I'll just have to hope for the best and learn from my errors! Doh!

It would be easier, though it's a fair bit more expensive than sand.

Thanks for your comments, I think for piece of mind (though a PIA) I'd prefer to empty them into separate buckets and then use a bag. However, it's likely that I won't be able to remove all of the sand, will the small salt content cause issues? What sort of bag works well and how am I meant to...

I've recently filled (⅔) my Atacama SE24 stands with kiln dried sand since many have suggested this as an affordable solution. However, I'm slightly concerned about moisture getting in since some people state they "seal" the top to prevent moisture. Speakers are in my living room which I have my...

Thanks, I'll give it a go. That's a proper Hi-Fi bargain right there!

Thanks for the info. I presume if I were to try the halved squash balls, I'd use these instead of the feet and just rest them underneath the turntable or use some double sided tape maybe?

Is it a normal procedure for TT manufacturers to supply felt feet? Unless I use blu-tack underneath the whole thing slides about like it's on ice simply from lifting the dust cover off. I would have thought rubber would be better at isolation and gripping. When it comes to maintenance of the...

Ahhh, that sucks for me! I'll Google but I cannot touch just yet!

Thanks for the tips. That looks stunning btw.

After purchase. I don't think it's faulty (though the hinge fixings could be better), I think given the reviews of it and the 2M Red cartridge, I had expected better. It's my first TT and £439 was a lot for me to spend. In my opinion it often sound thin and boring meaning I never really took...

If I were to walk near-ish the speakers, the cones move a fair bit. Whilst this isn't exactly audible from what I can gather, it's still not isolating very well. All very good tips here, the squash balls are a good shout! Are Linn LP12s still well regarded? Trying to weigh up isolating mine and...
