Sistrum and Maple

Hey Wild Man!

I think that you'd be negating the intended action of the Sistrum stand.

If you're itching to upgrade something, try this: I just replaced my Power Wing and $2,500.00 Nordost Quantum Qx4 with a $400.00 Topaz Ultra Isolation Transformer.

The transformer drops the AC noise by 136db, and is cleaner in my system. Of course, it doesn't provide surge suppression, but for the upgrade in the reduced noise floor, microdynamics and dynamics, I don't care!

Good to see a post from you!

Chuck,

Long time no talk. Did you sell you wing here on Agon?

I actually tried this, I have a turntable shelf at the top of my Star Sound rack and I tried putting a Scoutmaster on a 3" maple board on Audio Points on top of the shelf but the table sounded better sitting directly on the shelf.

I talked to StarSounds when buying Audiopoints for a maple rack I was building. We chatted a bit about the Sistrum, and my impression was that they did not think wood a good approach to shelving. J
