Frank Zappa,s Nanook the eskimo, had lead filled snow shoes. Looks like i,ll end up with lead filled speakers. has any one puchased lead shot lately. The local gun shop wants $625 for 50 kilos. That really is incredable
since lead is competing for the top spot as a presious metal. Why not just buy Gold. At least when you ever sell the speakers you can put in your ad that they the speakers are the Gold standard.
Go ahead and buy a truck load of lead and use it every where you can. And when you are through using it for your speaker throw some on the floor around you speakers ( better soundstage) and sit back and have a pack of fags and enjoy the tunes.
The designer/physicist P.Lurne (Goldmund,Audiomeca) used much lead in his TT;for the platters,motors,tonearms, tonarm-base.etc. If I understand the reasons well primary as absorber and mass.I am not 100% sure but I think that he stated :'there is no better stuff for the purpose'. Regards,
Nandric...Depleted Uranium is better. It is used wherever a lot of weight is needed in a small space...example: balance weights of aircraft control surfaces. It was also used to damp shimmy in the DC9 landing gear. Lead weights would have been too big to allow wheel retraction.
