Sistrum or Neuance or...?

science has still not proven why cement hardens, go figure...last I looked folks were using a lot of it and liking it.

No, haven't been paid a thing. I'm just trying to help other audiophiles out. It really is that good. I've been through a lot of tweaking. This is really the best. It's a full system upgrade and I've got good stuff to begin with.

Gee, I posted the cement thing without even being a Sistrum owner...no bandwagon here. However, since posting, I recieved Sistrum stands for my speakers. Needless to say, I haven't "tested" them, nor have I returned to my physics books of twenty plus years to "figure" them out. Even with a white paper (that honeslty I won't fully understand anyway), why would I buy on that alone? I trust my ears...and I am keeping them, gladly. In the business world there is a lot of BS...but ultimately someone has to make a sale in order to remain in business. If you would like to know the differences I heard and the equipment that I own, etc. please feel free to email me. I will gladly assist a fellow audiophile who is honestly looking to upgrade their system. Otherwise, I really do have better things to do....like listen to music.

Guys, I got the upgraded amp stand and yes its quite a nice improvment. I am definitely keeping it. Everything is just better. Better dynamics, lower noise floor, bigger soundstage, cleaner sound, better highs and lows. It took about 10 days for the mechanical break-in.

I have found the sistrum stands to work very well in my system. Surprising that PF recently recommended a $47k amp ONLY if you buy Sistrum stands with it?

Well, it works very well on my "much less expensive amp" :).

Try it, what have you got to lose? Trust your ears...

I tried various "stuff". You can email me for details. What surprised me the most was the level of improvement. Yes, I expected an improvement, but not as much as I got with the sistrum amp stand (and I have the lesser model). I have VAC equip. amp and pre + dac. The VAC stuff is terrific tube equipment by the way. A big difference was the speaker stands. As an example, the aurios just didn't do it. I know others like it, I didn't. BD was nice, musical, but not in the same league as the sistrum speaker stands. So,,,I tried their lesser model amp stand. Lower noise floor, more musical, more detail, better soundstage, imaging, cleaner highs, better bass...you get the picture. But what i like the most is the improved dymamics...what the heck, a free trial....I actually tried the stuff based on reading audiogon. It really works. If you really want to know, I am not even tempted to try other stands, it sounds that good. I ordered the upgraded amp stand. I will let you know how that sounds after I break it in.

Gee, if you can try the product and return it risk free, what is all the fuss about? Can someone elighten me? I mean its not like they are making or forcing anyone to buy it?

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery - today is the only certainty.
