I just hate when I get better resolution and better dynamics with a lower noise floor. I still think that the sistrum stands are one of the best values in high end today!!If you like the points ,then the stands ( get the 101's and you won't have to update any further)will simply blow you away.Tvad and Nrchy are both right and have really understated what they do for a system, all my friends run them on sources and speakers ( all 101's). By not pulling the trigger you'd be shooting yourself in the foot.Just remember advice is free and trust your own ears once they are in the system-Take care Dennis
Star Sound Sistrum pltfm? About to pull trigger.
My CD player has been knocked off the Audio Points TWICE by family members. Tom Lyons responded to my initial email very promptly (QUITE impressive). I did what he suggested, but still had the second "event." I've read that the Sistrum Platform is GREAT, and I already have the discs. On the points, the CD player was great sounding, and I'm not real anxious to change technologies. I tried isolation (Audioquest "Q" things) and in my system, coupling (with the points) was better.
OK, OK, so here's the question: Can anyone think of a reason that the Sistrum would be a BAD idea? Things that are good: 1)my dealer carries them; 2)Tom Lyons himself answered my email--fast; 3)the Audio Points already worked well, and the Sistrum is SAID to be even better; 4)the Sistrum wouldn't fall over, I'm pretty sure. So, anything to "beware" of? Nothing is coming to mind for me.
