Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

clarification

beryllium is toxic in dust or vapor form. Once formed into the finished shape it can be handled with little or no danger.

If it was so toxic many audiophile connectors would not exist as many use beryllium copper alloys ( Z bananas and such). The old Shinon Red cartridge used a beryllium cantilever, but quit production because the Japanese maker had to comply with new OSHA type laws in Japan

In addition some tools are made with beryllium, particularly those in the gas industry, as beryllium tools are non sparking.
