Sistrum or Neuance or...?


I'm considering some isolation for my transport and DAC. Which of the Sistrum or Neuance do you recommend? Or what else? I'm certainly open to suggestions. Thanks.

Some months ago I butted heads with theaudiotweak, versus my own home brew, lead, and melted plastic, featuring 90# of mass platform.
At that time, I was reluctant, no, make that adamently opposed to the concept that anything would, or could work better than my own product. I ranted and raved with theaudiotweak about physics, arguing Newton's Laws and so on. My points were textbook, but sometimes we have part of the information, and certainly not ALL the information.
And, as is the case, sometimes we find out something new, by simply opening our minds up.
After much sparring around, I invited the 'tweak' over, to my house, at which time, he brought an SP-3 (maybe, I don't know what it is for sure, but I think that's it.) It is designed for CD Players, or DVD, even preamps, and I would think amps.
The result of my experience was, that after 10 minutes of listening, I immediately bought it.
I will take all the flack anyone wants to throw at me for doubting this product, because IT REALLY WORKS!!
With more than 25 years of experience at listening to audio products, and so called tweaks, I have become pretty proficient at sorting out the good from the better, and up to the BEST. I would strongly encourage anyone to at least try the Sistrum under your CD player. The price is reasonable, (I thought) and the results are AMAZING; better focus, imaging, detail,and with a side benefit of about an octave of really detailed bass, gained.
I am blessed with a really good system, as I have the Halcro Amp, Preamp, and a Lexicon Universal Player, with A-1 Sound Lab Speakers. It REALLY SMOKES NOW!!
My humble apologies, to all those people at Sistrum, that I doubted.This proves again, that all that we know, is not enough, and that even things that I can't explain, can be appreciated.
Good listening.
Dekay, why not add something? What does zzzzz mean?
I guess it implies sleeping, or that his finger is stuck. Maybe someone hear can give him some help.
Would someone give Dekay the finger?

'Goners, don't you love this type of lame response from some of these people? Before I actually LISTENED TO THE PRODUCT,I DIDN'T BELIEVE, I YELLED KICKED SCREAMED, AND CALLED THE SISTRUM GEAR WRONG, ADAMENTLY CLAIMING MY OWN PRODUCT WAS BETTER WITHOUT ANY, ANY PROOF! Guilty and dumb of me, and I admit it freely.
But then, I did exactly what scientific thinkers SHOULD do, I tried something NEW. I then swallowed my pride and told the entire TRUTH of my experience, with no gain, only an expenditure.
Why do people (including me) with little or no experience with a specific product think they have the right to dispute REAL VERIFIBLE experiences?
Also, there was a witness there, a guy who happens to be a very good listener. HE owns Gryphon's $10K preamp, a highly modified Ayre, and some Von Schweikert VR-4's that I got for him. Good enough equipment, yes? He saw and heard this whole thing happen, and will buy as soon as he can. This folks, to me is what makes audio fun, and real. TRY SOMETHING NEW, even if you don't understand the actual reasons. There are many, many things in life that I can enjoy or appreciate, without fully understanding.
Stradiverius (sp?) violins SOUND better, why?? Theories abound with no difinitive answer that has been proven.
Good luck to a valuable company. As soon as I can I am auditioning the other pieces for the REST of my System.
Best,
