Cat Litter instead of Atabytes, sand etc.
Just saw a colleague who has a recording studio, and he mentioned he has filled his near field monitors with cat litter!
Unused of course!
Will this be the next big Hifi 'find'?
EDIT!!!!!
SORRY boys!
I forgot to put it was his stands that he filled with cat lit!
I was in a rush earlier and missed the vital bit out!

Sounds like a Crap idea
Will we all be absorbed by it ?

Not sure that's a good idea. Most cat litter is hygroscopic and attracts and retains atmospheric moisture. The Fullers Earth variety will turn into slightly damp powder.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Only really works when the "lumps" are left in which improves bass

Couple of bags of builders sand and pea gravel works well enough for me, doesn't feel as nice between the toes though when having a poo
One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

This may be true, but I don't usually crap into my speakers.

l have used Kitty litter in my Skylan stands for a few years now as l was getting a bloated bass line using sand in them, Kitty Litter and Rice are Noel at Skylan standard recommendations. ( The Kitty Litter worked much better in the Skylans under my Harbs.)
System; Michell Gyrodec SE/ Orbe Clamp/ Gert Pedersen armboard mod/ HR PSU/ SME V / J7 Tonearm cable/Ortofon Cadenza Black// Jez Arkless Turbo nutter B------ /Trichord Dino+
Amplification and loudspeaker set up is at the moment being split into two groups, comprising the following;
1. Same sources as above; SONY TAF-770ES/SONY CDP761E/Cable Talk 3.1 loudspeakercable/ Harbeth Compact7ES2/ Stands
2. Virtue Audio Sensation M451battery PSU, ClarityCaps upgrade/ Sensation M901/Russian PIO caps with Teflon bypass caps upgrade/ JT Dynamic PSU with various tweaks/ Connex Audio 5N Litz loudspeaker cable, Impulse H6 Loudspeakers.

Again, rice is not a good idea. Rice attracts mites and a colony of mites in stands or speakers will leave you with a pile of nasty bacteria ridden crap in the equipment.

Which will give your system a truly 'organic' sound.
