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.

I have never heard any shelf that compares with the Neuance. The only problem is the 65 pound weight limit. I second Metonymie on their use with the Manas-outstanding.
How much weight can the Sistrums take? This is a problem with Neuance with for example my turntable.
I have noticed that the Sistrum is just double points. It will not absorb any internal vibrations of the component which is the strength of the Neuance. A Neuance on top of a Sistrum might be outstanding.
Sean says, "There is no need for snake oil of any type when rational thinking is involved." What nonsense! Rational thinking has as much to do with audio as it does with how people vote. Either the Sistrums sound better than the Neuances are they do not. I have already decided that in my system, the Neuances are quite superior.
Sean, I am a social scientist and agree with you in principle. If we had the possibility of operationalizing "sounding better" and the proper tools to do so, we could proceed as you want. But we cannot operationalize the concept and lack the measurements. We have to be unscientific about this, especially as I know what I like.
