Perlite Speaker Stand Filler


Hi guys.Can anyone tell me if they are using this material for stand filler,how they think it compares to sand or shot & what type of filler to use(Horticulture Perlite or Granulated Masonary Fill)?Thanks much,take care...

Perlite is too lightweight to have much effect. You're better off using something like clay granules (kitty litter) if you want to steer clear of sand or lead shot.
I like pea gravel. It is not as messy to work with as sand, is cheap, and has good damping properties.
I should have noted I'm NOT trying to add mass,stands are heavy enough,simply trying to damp resonance of the metal tube.
