Zoethecus Vs Audio Point Sistrum Rack

Hi Redkiwi, how are you? Thanks again. Very interesting racks. Guess the reason i couldn't find the site was that i needed to add that "S". Thanks again/Mike

i've seen the sistrum racks but never used them. i do own zoethecus. the two brands of racks are so different from one another in construction and approach that i should think them virtually impossible to compare. that is, unless you do as redkiwi has, testing many combinations in your own, familiar system. i doubt you really have that in mind. i also doubt that the sistrum will provide the performance of zoethecus, tho i have no emperical evidence to support this opinion. i do, BTW, like the design of the sistrum; too bad the musical motif is covered in use.

Hi Cornfedboy,
I feel that Sistrum Rack will outperform the Zoethecus. I spoke with the CEO at Audiopoints today, according to him with Sistrum, you are listening to the technology and not the rack. There are some scientific principles behind the design of this rack. But I would still like to hear more comments from audiophiles like Dolphin who own this rack before I make a commitment.

ifatchoi: please don't take this wrongly, but would you have expected the ceo of audiopoints to have suggested his products are inferior to a competitor's? i've been to many highend audio stores throughout the us and attended >10 ces's. the racks i've see in the great majority of these settings are made by zoethecus; none was made by sistrum. i think that sez a great deal more than the words of a manufacturer.

Ifatchoi,
I am in NY as well. I purchased my 6 shelf unit from Goldman Audio (www.goldmanaudio.com). Yes, I did fill the rack with their micro-bearing fill material. Never heard the speaker stands, but considering what their rack and platforms did for my system, I wouldnt hesitate to try them.
