I just added the Sistrum SP-101 under my Threhsold T400 amps and echo the same experiences here.
They are not just beautiful but also extremely effective. After receiving them, putting them together was a breeze! First I installed one in my left monoblock and run the system just like that. Immediately I notice a difference in the balance of the sound. The sound was slightly shifted to the left! I was not sure if it was my imagination but while I was listening my wife came into the room. I need to tell you she is not an audiophile and constantly tells me that she can not recognize the difference in the sound between a transistor radio and my reference system. Well, as soon as she got in the room and listen to the music she said "This side sounds louder honey". First I was impressed that she was able to identify the difference and second she pointed exactly to the effect of the SP-101.
After that little test I placed the second platform under my right monoblock. Voila! Like magic the soundstage got immediately centered and balanced. After letting the amplifiers warm up a bit I started doing some listening. At the beginning I thought I lost some bass in the system but putting more attention to the sound I realized what disappeared was the boominess. The bass was still there but in a more pure form. Tight, clean and clear. I played some of the selections I know well have deep and nice bass and got amazed of the sound. All that boominess that sometimes we call bass was gone and now I have deep, clean and tight low notes coming out of my B&W 801 Matrix S3 (with Sound Anchor stands over Audiopoints).
The effect of the SP-101 was not only in the bass area but also in the mid range and high frequencies. The mid range got very focused and clear and the high frequencies got very pure and well defined. The total sound stage got very holographic. Even in an old recording like "Killing me softly" from Roberta Flack the separation of the instruments and the holographic presentation of the soundstage was incredible. I have never hear that recording like that!!
I really don't understand all the scientific explanation of why your products work in that way but for sure my ears can tell me the DO WORK! I
