My audio rack is bright, will sand fill help?


My new VPI rack sounds a bit more bright than the rack I had before.
The rack supports my turntable, phono preamp and preamp.
Would filling the hollow support tubes with sand attenuate some of the stridency?

Thanks much,
Henry

Placing the relatively low cost VibraBlock Constrained Layer Damper from Machina Dynamica on each horizontal shelf surface can often give relief from brightness and stridency.
I notice that back in 2003 Stehno commented on the need to decide how best to control vibration and resonance along with other worthwhile suggestions.
Perhaps your new rack is going to need so much augmenting and adjusting that Chayro is on the right track suggesting this particular item is best removed from your system.
