Sistrum SP101 Platforms - under floor standers

I have been using Sistrum products (101s and apprentice stands) since around 2007 under a variety of components subs, speakers, amps, dacs, etc) and they have a profound impact. I have even incorporated their technology into my audio room design. Sonic impressions under speakers: better image focus, bass, speed, and air.....in other words more real or live sounding. Value? Not pricey considering that they typically will double your speakers performance and use raw materials and a fabrication process that is expensive unlike much of the cheap chifi masquerading as hi end. It's a no-brainer. They have multiple price points available....give Robert at SS a call....

Garebear, what did you decide to do?

... '' so how did the Sistrum SP 101's sound under the who ever designed and made them ; Caravelle speakers the original posted asked "' ?

The Caravelles had dedicated stands designed using similar principles: http://www.audiopoints.com/OLDSITE/whitecaravelle.html

I never heard them but have owned Dale's Pitcher's designs and if they resemble them in any way sonically (and I have heard they do: http://audiofederation.com/catalog/show-reports/RMAF-October-2004/index2.htm ), they should sound fantastic.

I was using some vintage Pioneer speakers as a surrogate while I was waiting for my Mosaic Audio Illuminations. I popped these $75 Craigslist speakers on the Apprentice stands, and a speaker designer friend who heard them said he had not heard many 10K speakers sound as good.

Call Robert at SS. Its a no-brainer.

Garebear, what does your system consist of?

.... ""After hrs ""....really what is your problem ???? Take this somewhere else and get some professional help for this obsession of yours. Life really is too short !

I agree. A reality check is in order.

Excellent news Garebear. I understand you pulling away for a respite. I have done the same in recent past due to the out and out pathology at large on many of these forums. I think you are wise to allow for that settle in and adjustment time. That phenomenon is real.

Robert is a gem and no sociopath or liar or crook. Quite the opposite. My first introduction to him was when I called SS to enquire about some used stands. He encouraged me to buy used rather than hustle me to buy new. That speaks volumes....
