My Journey to Digital Nirvana Part 1
My experience has been somewhat different with the Exemplar. I have a Berning ZH270 amp, First Sound pre, and Merlin VSMM speakers. I absolutely loved the Exemplar 2900 and hear no brightness or harshness. I do hear lots of detail, tons of texture... 
Exemplar Denon 2900. WOW Need owner advice.
711, How close are the 2 machines on red book? 
sistrum vs neuance
It will be several weeks before I can get a Neuance but I'm looking forward to it. Twl and Tvad are right about trying in your system, however the Neuance would be easier to place. Of course everything depends on how it sounds. 
sistrum vs neuance
Dekay, thanks for the tip. I had an interesting conversation with Ken Lyons today, and I am looking forward to trying a Neuance soon. 
sistrum vs neuance
Guys, of course I understand the value of trying things in your own system, and I have posted similar advice. I don't take these responses as gospel but as interesting data to consider. However, I think there is some benefit in sharing similar exp...

When not in use, John recommends leaving the player in stand by mode. He says it keeps the digital circuit warm and preserves tube life. 
Shunyata Snakebite
Any info on how it compares with the Diamondback? 
Is Exemplar the answer?
I have had my player since the weekend so it is breaking in. Using a Sistrum opened up the soundstage, but it's very early in the process. What power cord are you using, and how sensitive is the player to different cords?Thanks 
Anyone try thr new Sirius satellite radio system?
I have both XM and Sirius home units. My XM Delphi Skyfi sounds better than the Sirius Audiovox 2 tuner. More band width on XM, bigger soundstage, image, etc. I find that Sirius has a tighter play list, and has more NPR and play by play sports. XM... 
Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared
Using the discs is not a daylight and dark difference, but there is a difference. If you can squeeze out a little more detail and clarity for less than the cost of going to a good restaurant, it's an upgrade worth doing.I'm the guy who always make... 
Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared
Tom, theaudiotweak, came over today and brought some discs to use between the Sistrums and my wood shelf. He said it would make a big difference and it did. I have used the discs between the components and the Sistrum so not to scratch the gear, b... 
Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared
I'm not sure it's fair to compare Stillpoints to Audiopoints because of the cost difference. The Sistrum SP-1, made by Audiopoints, is about the same price as the Stillpoints. The Stillpoints provided some improvement, but the SP-1 was clearly bet... 
Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared
warren, I'm not sure there is one light to see. I'm with Jayboard when he says he is suspicious of pure doctrine in hifi. Every system, and every set of ears are different. I know some people have returned the Audiopoints because they don't work f... 
Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared
I have had both the latest Stillpoints with risers and the Audiopoints Sistrum SP-1 platform in my system recently. It seems more valid to do this comparison as both products sell for about the same price.I found the Stillpoints to be a nice impro... 
Is Exemplar the answer?
what about the static issue mentioned in the 6moons review? Is there a lot of it, and when do you hear it.
