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.

I have the Sistrum SP-6 rack and really like it. Tried all of the damping stuff and went with this, you'll really like what it does.

I'm going to say something and I hope that it doesn't offend you. I've got two daughters, 24 and 20. Neither those two nor their friends treated my equipment with the respect it deserves, so they were banded from it, period!

I bought them small systems and told them that mine was off limits. I wasn't being mean, but having them and their friends mess with a system costing around $30-K wasn't about to continue.

I even put it in a locked room which really irritated my wife. But like I told her, we can't afford to replace these pieces if they break something.
