In the sand box


I have 2 audio buddies who have built component sandboxes with different types of sand. They claim Beach sand is the most dense and made a huge difference when the turntable and amp were set in them. Has anyone else been down this road? I mean there are several ways to isolate equipment, this is just one of many.

Hey hilroy48...thanks for the inquiry,

Long ago, in the wilds of Maine, the rig was on a jouncy 2nd floor apartment surface, sourced with a fully fleshed out Sota Star Saphire TT.  After several attempts including bladders, footers etc., my solution was a box filled with play sand and an added Maine block of granite atop the sand, carefully leveled.  I suspect any deadening plinth will work.  Cheers and onwards!
