Anyone compared Critical Mass and Finite Elemente?


I'm interested in the Critical Mass Grand Master isolation platforms, but I have no experience with them at all. I've been planning to buy Finite Elemente's Pagode Master Reference rack shortly, but seeing these CMS platforms, well.. They're just pretty! ;)

Did anybody in here have a chance to hear both with the same or similar gear?

The Pagode racks have been more or less the benchmark for years, at least here in Europe. It would be really interesting to know if these new CMS platforms & racks are comparable, or even better?

I just purchased a Finite Element Master Reference, plus 1 set of Cerebases (under the stand) and 2 sets of Cerapucs.

I rec'd it from my dealer on Sunday afternoon. Just before the 3 day ice storm.

He also carries the Grand Prix and did say he liked em better as did bkonig. I just didn't like the way they look in my room. Couldn't get past it. I was very close to a SRA Craz rack, but I really like my dealer here so I went with one of his offerings.

Wow. The Finite Elemente has really improved the sound. I can't say how happy I am with it. I am still getting a used to it. But nothing went backwards. I moved from a Arcici Suspense with Symposium Ultra shelfs. It's a definite unmistakable improvement.

I can't comment on the Critical Mass. I am sure they are great too. Bottom line, I don't think you'll go wrong with any of these. Good luck !
