In Reply to: Where can I buy lead shots in NYC area? Thanks!(nt) posted by Jian on October 5, 2005 at 18:03:36:
I use 25 Lb. lead shot bags on the bases of my Sound Anchors speaker stands, 7 lb. tungsten shot on my speaker tops. Beware of the "lead sound" on speakers and electronics.... terribly blah and dull... the larger sized Tungsten shot (such as the BBs or the bigggest shot they have) in the plastic jars is substantially more dynamic that #7 tungsten shot in cloth bags. OTOH, the small tungsten shot will reveal a wealth of fine detail, tonal accuracy... I was hearing things I'd never heard before, really intricate, complex interplays of different instruments... although the #7 bags seemed to absorb too much macro dynamic energy... the tungsten BBs in plastic jars weren't a finely detailed but the dynamic energy just kicked butt, the speakers became so alive and convincing... lead is like the worst of both worlds....next thing I try will be #7 tungsten in jars
