Where can one purchase lead shot for speakers?

Just like the government. They make up rules and regulations without knowing what their doing. When you make statements of fact, be prepared to be called on it.

I've been around a long time and saw how eggs and milk were bad for you and then good for you again....

Fin1bxn,

You keep trying to change the subject by using irrelevant comparisons. We are not talking about eggs and milk. Do you really expect that someday lead will be on the "good" list?

I don't expect to convince you of anything. Obviously you are too enamored of your own opinion to be swayed by professionals (medical, toxicologists)and other experts. I won't continue this debate with you.

I do hope to convince others to avoid using lead and to refuse to purchase equipment that has been contaminated with lead. I think anyone with an open mind who reads the above posts will realize that the lead proponents have failed to address any of the issues I raised:

1. Environmental consequences of mining and smelting
2. Disposal of hazardous waste requirements. Whether or not you agree with them, they are the law. When lead or a lead/sand mix is removed from equipment, it becomes a hazardous waste.
3. The ultimate disposal of equipment contaminated with lead.

Final words---Don't use lead fill or buy products that have been contaminated with lead fill.

Don s, your beating a dead horse. I applaud your attempts to inform those that elude the spell of common sense. Unfortunately, trying to convince any audiophilicus preposteri of anything other than what they want to "hear" will just add more Co2 in the atmosphere. I agree with you 100%.

Lead is toxic. You can argue if you want but it doesn't change the scientific fact. If you choose to ignore this fact that's your prerogative. If you want to play with it, eat it, stuff things with it please feel free to do so.

for damping speakers and stands...Again, No one can provide specifics that anyone using it for Stand or Speaker damping has harmed themselfs or the environment

The statistics are on my side. More people get hurt driving or walking across the street.

So I say if you want to use led, use it! it works well
