They are said to be better than sand and lock together once settled, creating a very dense damping medium for speaker stands. A bit hard... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? The Brits make damn good stuff...Linn, Tannoy, Sugden, etc...I love anything UK. Hardly anything I own HiFi wise says made In China...except maybe one of my Dacs that I seldom use. |
