I have new stands and its been 27 years since I last filled a pair. I'm curious what the collective wisdom here has to offer on best results with different damping media. I understand that play sand can be very wet out of the bag. I assume that the advantage to cat litter is that its a hygroscopic clay, so moisture isn't a problem. I think John Atkinson has written or posted about using both sand and shot for a mass-loaded non-homogeneous damped effect. So, please share your preference and experiences, results with the various fills you've tried and save me from re-inventing the wheel. Of note is that the top plates -are- removable in the event that something doesn't work or requires more/less material, I can make adjustments.
TIA
