Micro-bearing conductive steel fill vs. sand fill?

Has any one experienced the difference between micro-bearing steel fill vs. sand fill for isolation platforms? Sonically is there a difference? I am in the process of custom building bases from solid maple 2 3/4' thick. The centers will be hollowed out for either sand or micro-bearing steel fill. The bases will be supported with isolation spikes which I will also need to purchase. I would greatly appreciate some experienced input. Thank you...Joe

I swear by the micro-bearing conductive steel fill: my Sistrum stand and my Sonoran cables. To me the music is much more alive.

But now, you're talking about building your own stands, which I know nothing about. Why don't you go to http://www.audiopoints.com and look up the phone number and call Robert and ask him, or email him or Tom.

They're both very nice and easy to talk to.
