| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers what is the presatation like?, Is it roll A, D, G, J????This can vary with room geometry and speakers, but generally I have found the SS stands to have a much more "live" sound (aka ambient energy). In my current room, it is definitely more of a f... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Bill, I did a similar comparison with the original Stillpoints and the apprentice stands under Intuitive Design Gamma Summits, and I my findings mirror yours. Better bass, focus, and ambient energy but maintaining an organic signature. The Stillpo... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I spoke with Merrill and he warned me that "more air is sometimes more smear."That is an astute observation and something I grudgingly admit as a tubeophile. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Bill, the SS stands take a couple of days to relax. They always sound a little edgy and forward at first blush.... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Neurotic you say?!?!?I resemble that remark!Yes, you are close to the pinnacle. It is at the core of audiophilia. Why do you think they're so many sycophants in the pews.... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Most manufacturers of tubed gear don't provide Gucci tubes (unless of course you get a Lampizator L7 which comes with EML 45s standard which are > $500). That's an industry standard that won't change for the needs of neurotic audiophile shootouts. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Thankyou everyone,thankyou for your hospitality as well, what do you use under the 103's?, plywood, footer disc?, why does star sound have the same size measurements for all the stands?, do you believe a 103 can support a 180 pound amp?, and still... | |

I guess his charging those prices as not many grounding conditioners yet available on the market hence ... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house The VC is indeed active and not prone to thinness according to many endusers. My experience with passives in the past has been one of thinness as well. I will be doing these same experiments once I get my L7 as the Viva has a world class active st... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I fully admit that I am excruciatingly patient when evaluating a componentI am too, and while the breakin thing sounds like witchcraft, its real in my experience as well. A lot of ADD audiophiles miss out on good gear due to the lack of patience... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Congrats to Granny and Tbg. I had Apprentice stands under $75 Pioneer speakers I bought on Craigslist as surrogates until I got my speakers from Dale Pitcher. It was nothing short of astounding. I had a golden eared friend over and he stated that ... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Congrats to you Abruce. Hearing is indeed believing. This should be very interesting.... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD AGear. I'm not sure why you say that. Because of language like this:At this moment in time, I am STILL enjoying the absolutely beguiling ODSE. It does not have the complexity of the Aeris, nor the masterful recreation of tone and texture that the ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Aeris, Aeris, Aeris!!! This is too easy to predict. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, no need to apologize. I just added the Sixmoons except as intellectual fodder to stimulate further discussion (such as Steve's response). This thread is a treat. Keep trucking... |
