Regardless of which racks I used them, the Bright Star Audio Big Rocks made each and every component sound slow, dull, airless, and lifeless. OTOH, a few Stereotypical Audiophiles liked this type of sound, and used euphemisms like "smooth," "relaxing," and "stable." So, like everything else, you just have to listen, and judge for yourself.
Also note that the top is not sealed. Bits of sand can escape, in the gap between the box and the top panel. Because I didn't find the Big Rock to have any positives, I never did try to DIY one.
The sealed Little Rock, however, could effect some positives. In general, when placed on top of a comment, the smaller sizes worked better. When we used the heavier/larger Little Rocks, they could squeeze the life and air out of the music.
Interestingly, we found that the larger Little Rock did well as a base. Even under something like the modest Audio Alchemy DDE v1.0 DAC, the Little Rock used as a base removed some sonic fizz, grain, and instability.
