:lol:
True about the stone floor.
My last place was a real ‘mare, even stopping the tonearm skipping, when skipping past.
one place I lived just walking in the room would bounce the tonearm - from fifteen feet away. Ended up having to put the rack halfway up the stairs.Quote:

When I bought a house, a concrete floor was a deal-breaker.
Wish I had a concrete floor again as I did in my last house. Now have to resort to huge mass to stop vibration.:rolleyes:
concrete on ground floor here.. standard addition for Scottish Homes houses at time, who were abolished by Scottish govt oddly.. the council ones in same area didnt have it
If I had to do it again I would use sand trays.
Yes I can see the appeal. More to life than just hifi.Quote:

I used to fill my speaker stands with sand and convinced myself I could hear the difference when I altered the amount of sand in the stands. What a Knob.:)
All it did was make them either difficult or easy to move.:doh:
Been there, not just you!Quote:

Yeah thanks for that.
The sand stopped any ringing in the.metal stand, sure, but when you got to a point the Job was done.
But what under the speakers...the screw in wee spike and locking nut, or Blutak directly toothed top plate?
Kept me up at night that!
Sand in stands, blutak under the speakers...brings back memories that.
Target 22" stands and Mission 760i bookshelves, nice combo with the Pioneer A400 actually those wee boxes.
Ran those until one day I came home from work and found my 5yr old had poked the tweeters in!
