In Reply to: Survey: Sand, cat litter, shot or a mix in a stand? posted by PaulN on February 16, 2013 at 14:52:34:
if your stand has multiple legs, use an assymetrical fill, Fukkung multiple legs with a consistent homogeneous fill creates a single resonant frequency. It is better for sound to use different amounts and kinds of fill for the legs of the stand.
I use some lead shot and top off with crushed sand, fine stuff so that it can fill the space netween the shot. I intersprerse the sand with all sorts of things: woodshavings, beads, nails so that the fill is simply not consistent.
It works for me in direet comparisons to an identical stand uniformly filled.
Sound Anchors, IIRC, uses concrete with a mixture of aggregate in order to also achieve assymetrical fill in their legs of the stand
