Good & Inexpensive Amplifier Stand for ARC VT100
I agree with Theaudiotweaks opinions of the Sistrum amp stands. May not fit your budget but you may not believe the improvement of your amplifier. Not just a slight improvement but more like a new SOTA amp. The ARCVT100 is already a fine amp. With... 
Whats better? a digital amp or a linear amp
Thanks Harmon, if i have the chance to do so i will give it a listen. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. 
Whats better? a digital amp or a linear amp
My Mom has the HCA-2 that drives her Joseph RM 25MKII. At one time I would have agreed with every word Harmon said.Then I fixed her up with a very good PC and an isolation stand for Her amp. Now I agree word for word with Imin2u. It is also possib... 
Which components knocked you out on first listen?
Hi Cody, I will never forget when i combined my system with Audiogon member Jcbtubes. Well tempered reference TT, Spectral DMC 20 preamp, Spectral DMA 180 amp, and MIT best cable at that time through out the system. The speakers were a four panel ... 
help with harshness / brightness - cary 303-100
May not be fair to compare your TT with your CDP. Just a thought. Your Cary is a fine player. i am not sure you would be happy paying the difference to better you Cary. You may be amazed at what a Neuance shelf will do in improving this fine CDP. ...

Vibration control with Neuance and Mana
I own the Neuance and Mana combination. I also use Starsound Sistrum products. I believe very strongly that these products are every bit important as any audio component. I strongly believe you cannot fully realize the potential and performance of... 
What's the best isolation system?
I wonder if Chellingworth has the symposium devices mixed up with the Sistrum racks. I wonder if he has ever heard the Sistrum rack. If he has maybe he didn't follow the directions in set up. This is a product that will show what your components a...

Is the SPM/Quatro fil still a good choice
Ken1, I also own the EMC-1. I have owned the Quatro fil. I agree with Ejlif in his description of this cables sound. I have also heard many cables out perform the Nordost at a fraction of what Nordost asks for it's name, I mean cable. Listen first...

Wavac has a 100 watt mono block SET amps. They are the most beautiful amps I think I have ever seen. Might be one of the best sounding I have heard. Wavac also has a 50 watt SET amp. Hi Marakanetz, Cary has a V-12 amp that is 50 watt triode or 100... 
No Sellers willing to do COD anymore???
Ramstl, you have had good success it seems with COD. So I can understand your point of view. I try to be as honest as can be. A reputation ruined in this small community is not worth trying to pass off something not as advertised. I always offer m...

Tubegroover, thank you for your kind words. Be sure when you audition that you let them settle for at least 10 days. The guys at Star Sound will be very helpful in letting you know what to do. Speak with Robert if you can. He is very helpful, and ...
