| Alternatives to the Thiel Outriggers? Dan use the discs under the points if you place the platform on wood, glass or plastic shelving..The upper points only require the discs if your component is very light in weight say 10 lbs. or less or if you feel you need to protect the underneat... | |
| Alternatives to the Thiel Outriggers? Which models are they?..Do you have the APCD discs as well?..Those platforms will work under many different pieces of electronics as well..A friend of mine just purchased a pair of SP1's to place under his Halcro pre and power..The improvement was... | |
| where to find lead shot? Todd you don't want to fill the entire length of the tubes with micro-bearing. Consider 2.0 Audiopoints attached to the main support rods of your stand. 1.0's and discs under the components. Call Robert at the site...Tom | |

| Lead shot questions Its not a cure for the bass or any other frequency..Its a sponge that sucks the life out of the speaker or the stand filled with shot underneath. The lead is not sensitive to any selected bandpass of frequencys..They all become screwed up.Tom | |
| Lead shot questions Working with one manufacture to tame a resonance in the bass range..They used mass loading in the cabinet to squelch the peak before the newly redesigned woofer arrrived for replacement. They asked me what I thought .."Speaker sounds coherent but ... | |
