has lead shot surpassed cold

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'.

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.

I second Mcfarland's suggestion. I did change stands from Target to Atacama which have the ability to add more sand. Good move for my Triangle Stellas.

I,ll buy that Schipo. Glory,what can one reply to that. Maybe Zappa finished what he came to do i.e compose and play monster amounts of incredable music for lots of mere mortals like me.
