Jax' warning about vibrapods leaving a residue is accurate. It's also true of other vibration-absorbing pads like the rubber and cork pads. After one bad experience I've always used a layer of plastic wrap on each side of the vibration pad. I have not tested different brands or weights of plastic wrap for their sonic attributes.
Importance of Good Speaker Stands?
I have a pair of decent speaker stands for my Wharfedale pacific evo 8 bookshelf speakers. Stands sit on on hardwood floor with rounded spikes underneath the base. The speakers themselves sit ontop of vibrapods for some sound dampening.
My question is this: I can, but have not filled my stands with steel shots and/or sand like I've read many do. Will this result in a noticable improvement and if so what does it do to the sound? Also, any recomendations on fill material and where to get it?
Thanks.
