Stone plinths under speakers on sideboard?

[DougK1]

Sorry, I can hardly see my screen. Out of interest, is this a male-dominated hobby? I suppose it is, looking at posts here.

Not necessarily male-dominated but does attract nerdy types and people with obsessive-compulsive issues which are generally male traits
All are very welcome though as it is a love of music which binds us all together.

Try bedding the stone on silicone. I used to 'glue' mantel pieces on with it, and if customers queried it I'd challenge them to shift it, after three day's curing. Big tube applied in a circle so you get the benefit of a vacuum effect. You may need temporary wedges to level until cured. I used it under my speakers, whilst the spikes took the weight. I couldn't feel any resonance coming down my (sand filled) budget stands. It can be removed easily from stone and smooth surfaces.

If you click on a users name to the left of a post, one of the pieces of information it should reveal is when they were last here. In the case of the OP, it was October 2019.

If you have a question it is always better to start a new thread.
Hijacking a thread by changing the subject is normqally frowned upon...

Indeed, I don't think women get the same feeling as men do seeing the inside of an amplifier, possibly.

I think being impressed by a circuit board is generally a male thing.

Having said that, like men, women love Hi Fi and will buy Hi Fi when they can.

No, my wife loves music especially when I am listening to it as it keeps me out of her way, and she knows where I am.

... is this a male-dominated hobby?

Not always.
There are endless posts from blokes saying things like:
The wife /'better half' / 'S.W.M.B.O'. (she who must be obeyed) / 'The boss'.....would never allow that colour / size / shape / expense.

In their houses, the females very much dominate the hobby - but I think some of the gimps secretly enjoy being dominated.

Well and truly hijacked.....

Possibly but it has nothing to do with the question posted. Not that it really matters ad OP no longer on the forum.
Simply trying to get another new forum member to follow accepted practice.....
But you know what forums are like.
