Wolf Von Langa SON (TAS 2022 PofY) and Gestalt Audio - my experience & review
@jafant  The. SONs will show clear differences between cables. Colin brought some cables to try out when he came to set up my speakers.I listened to the Hijiri HCS and Sternklang speaker cables. The Sternklangs were impressive with clarity of soun...

Agree with winoguy. You can also save a lot of money if the seller drops off the speakers at the freight terminal at a major airport and the buyer picks them up at the freight terminal on the other end. Most of the cost is the local delivery betwe...

I've been using the ENO system running from an ethernet switch into my Mojo Audio Deja Vu server, which has JCAT Net XE and USB XE cards. When I reboot my Deja Vu with the ENO system connecting between the switch and the Deja Vu I don't get an eth... 
Fern & Roby Raven iii
I visited them at their shop about a year and a half ago so my memory is a bit faded. As I recall they sounded very nice with a wide and realistic sound stage. Bass was solid and musical and better than I expected given their size and single drive...

A funny thing happened today related to my comments about how the SONs reveal everything upstream. Everything was soiunding wonderful last night. I went to play some music again this afternoon and the magic was gone. I let the system play a while,...

@wvl Great to hear you were inspired to move your speakers further out into the room. I had the same reaction you did, I was amazed at the improvement in soundstage and how voices more open and lifelike. I played around  with toe in too and found ...

It’s been a few weeks now since Colin came out and set up my WVL SONs. I’ve been too busy listening to write about my experience. It was a busy, long day while Colin was here. Not only did he set up the speakers, but he brought a few different spe... 
Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?
Fair enough. Correlation doesn’t mean causation      
Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?
The basic design of the Sistrum and newer Rhythm stands is a steel platform with downward facing brass Audiopoints connecting the platform to the floor and upward facing Audiopoints connecting the platform to the equipment. The position of the poi... 
Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?
There are several substantial brass and steel parts to these stands, which we can be adjusted to fit your equipment. We had to loosen and move them to fit the new speakers then tighten. So that combined with the 100 lb weight of the speakers resul... 
Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?
They are now at livevibeaudio.com. I will be trading in my Sistrums for the Rhythm-jr platforms, which should fit nicely under my speakers. The Sistrums take up a lot of real estate.   
Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?
I have been using Starsound Sistrum SP-101 stands on wooden floors for the past 10 years. These use the technology that @audiopoint describes above.  I originally had them beneath my Audiokinesis Jazz Modules in three different rooms with great su...
