Jeffreybehr,
You can purchase my Mapleshade Samson rack and I won't charge you $2,000.00. What is said below is not directed towards you.
Oh, by the way I am selling it because I purchased the Sistrum Sp-101 for my amp and after my 30-day trial period was up I was calling Star Sound Technologies for (2) Sp-1 for my speakers and a Sistrum rack for my components all of which if I do not like them,I simply send them back. No risk. I do not feel I need to understand the science behind it. What I feel is important to me is "How does it sound in my system". I will say when I first put the Sistrum under my Pass amp I was amazed with the results. I was excited that a amp stand could do this. Well to my surprise that did not last long. My soundstage disappeared as did the bass. However, after 5-6 days WHAM there it was like never before.
I had/have a good rack previous to the Sistrum that has a white paper stating the science behind it. It made sense (or so I thought)and I had one custom made. Pierre at Mapleshade informed me this would beat $3,000-4,000 racks after all he was one of the designers of the F-16. He is a brilliant man and knows something about music and how it should sound. However, this meant nothing after I spent $1,700.00 on a rack he designed and compared it to the Sistrum.
What is my point. I do not care about the name on a product nor their claims or "supported science behind the product". What matters is does it sound good to you and since you are paying for it who cares what others think. Try the Sistrum product in your system and if you do not like it then send it back. You cannot expect others to hear your viewpoint if you yourself are not willing to at least put it in your system and experience what they have.
As a wise Marine Chaplin told me " Roger you need to chew the meat and spit out the bones".
HiFimaniac,
Thanks for steering me in the direction of the Sistrums. They improved my system like you said they would.
