Heavy duty speaker stands in Thailand? Where to buy them or get them custom made?
I've got a circa £1,000 external power supply for my DAC (Digital Analogue Converter). It provides better quality electricity to the DAC, even though the DAC has its own internal power supply and can be plugged straight into the mains. Does the external power supply make a difference, after all 240v AC is 240 volts, isn't it? The difference is immediately audible and my friends and family can hear it too. The improved clarity reveals things in the recordings that you hadn't heard before. Like the great British audio component manufacturer said, I try to get the closest approach to the original sound. Most of the audio 'black magic' that people talk about (better cables, power supplies, anti-vibration mountings, etc.) can work and cause a noticeable increase in sound quality but will probably not work if not matched carefully. For example, not all expensive cables might sound better on a particular system but almost anything should be better than twin-core bell wire. Personally, I would try to get a Thai welding shop to create something because the fundamental requirements are basic. It needs to have a lot of mass, i.e. thick steel. A filling inside a hollow stand is good, as has already been discussed. Sand is good for dampening vibrations, as the vibrations can be absorbed by the friction of the grains of sand moving against each other. Lead shot is denser and can provide a more substantial mass to minimise ringing and unwanted noise. A combination of the two would be possible, i.e. lead shot in the bottom half of the stand for improved mass (low c of g) and the top half filled with sand. If I was getting stands commissioned, I would also think about how to route the speaker cable(s) inside the stand at the bottom and exiting at the top near the connectors for improved aesthetics. Having created the rigid stand, you then have the choice of mounting the speakers on felt (or similar pads) to isolate them from the stands or bolting them rigidly to the stand. Bigger speakers, such as the OP alludes to, probably benefit from being connected rigidly. Isolation mounting typically gives a more natural sound. Experimentation is necessary to achieve the best sound for the listener but that's all part of the fun, as I expect the OP knows. Lastly, great sounding hi-fi is not about volume, it's about sound quality. Many listeners with loud systems need to have them loud to make their system produce some of the sounds they expect or wish to hear but these may be produced at the expense of excessive sound levels in the other frequencies. A high-quality system can sound excellent at moderate sound levels because all the right sounds are being produced, e.g. just like listening to an accoustic player or band - natural sounds, no amplification necessary. -

Gun permit, licens
Even if you would be able to obtain a gun legally in Thailand, you still wouldn't be able to carry it with you while going to the shops or to school , since Thailand doesn't have the liberal gun carry laws the US has. So at most you could keep it in your home, if you were able to get it legally. -

You heard me - so I must be talking to someone ?? Having said that - it is easy enough - my typing skills are as Donald would say 'huuuuuuge' - I can type almost as fast as I can speak. Years of writing documents needed by a deadline (and a good spell checker). -

I'm sure you're a really brave and highly trained guy with lots of combat experience, but a teacher with a 9mm handgun, which he might have shot once at the range (if that), is unlikely to be steady when confronting someone with an AR-15 and a 30 rd mag filled with 5.56 NATO ammo leaving the barrel at 3200 fpm. Teacher's MOA might be triple digits, and he or she is as likely to hit another child as the perp. As for guns in Thailand, your chance of winning the 6 number lottery is much greater than you ever being anywhere near a crazed shooter. It doesn't happen 'all the time'. Yes, there was an incident in Siam Paragon a while back, but I doubt YOU with a handgun in a shopping mall with 25,000 shoppers all around would make the place any safer. Real 'tough guys' just charge the shooter and disarm him, so get yourself a pair of Nikes and be ready to sprint.- 1

Baht becoming ridiculously strong
The Baht's strength is a mayor problem for many, as it might even chase expats away more efficient than any change to tax and visa policies! What about the export? More unemployment! I am sitting on cash that should have been in the bank in Thailand already. But I will wait....and wait....for as long as it takes. -

I Love Donald Trump
Yes I can - and so can you - why dont you try doing that?? Have you ever noticed something and wondered 'why'? Type in Trump to Google and most of what you will see is MSM lies and mistruths - they are Pro-Dems - and they have been for a long time. Elon Musk bought Twitter and removed all the left wing bias - he has shown plenty of evidence to show they and Facebook and Google manipulated their public interactions to help the Dems. This is what the People are seeing day after day - but there are more and more who have seen through the lies. The MSM is not unbiased - they are no longer news organisations - they are political allies of the Dems.
