| PC and isolation device for Linn Classik Stehno,For personnal reasons I completely dismantled my previous system, including the Sistrum rack. I'll now have to live with a much cheaper system, i.e. the Linn Classik/Keilidh combo. Given the retail price of this system, it would be plain ov... | |
| I need to help elevating my speakers. I would definitely give a try to Star Sound Technologies' Sistrum speaker platforms. They will not cost you more than marble slabs and you'll get MUCH, MUCH better results. | |
| PayPal Surcharge I've done a lot of trading here on AudiogoN, either as a buyer or as a seller. Regarding Paypal as a method of payment, I'd like to stress to all those who think that the seller should eat this charge that it is much more advantageous if you're a ... | |
| PayPal Surcharge Well said Thsalmon! I fail to see why the seller would have to absorb this charge when Paypal is chosen by the buyer as the method of payment. If the buyer doesn't want to absorb the Paypal charge then he just has to go with another payment method... | |
| Does highend heavy amps needs ampstands? I heartily second Warren's suggestion as to the Sistrum platforms/racks. I got amazing results with these in my system. By far the best isolation devices I've tried (and believe me I've tried a few). | |
| Help with buzzing sound Thanks Sean and Marakanetz for your input. What really puzzles me though is how come this buzzing sound only makes itself noticed when I physically touch the amp's volume control. As I said in my post, the buzzing sound completely disappears as so... | |
| Breakdown of audio investment My system's worth (based on MSRP) is close to $25K, which means I spent around $10K on cables, rack and tweaks, and $15K on my CD player, integrated amp and speakers. I'm glad to see I'm not that far from what the others posted. As for Newbee's qu... | |
| Breakdown of audio investment Thanks to those who replied to my post so far. For those who asked, what I'm mainly interested in is how much of your system's value is attributable to stuff such as cables, racks, tweaks, power conditioners, etc. I was quite surprised to realize ... | |
| Gershman Acoustics at 2003 Son & Image I do agree regarding the Gershman Opera Sauvage. They certainly get my vote for one of the best demo. I haven't heard their Cameleon speakers but if they're every bit as good as their other models they're certainly worth a listen (I do own a pair ... | |
| Review: Star Sound Technology Sistrum SP-4 Audio Rack Stand Lyonpowers: I can't say whether a SS amp will reap as many benefits on a Sistrum rack as my tube amp. Tube amps are usually more prone to vibrations and proper vibration control will usually yield more impressive results. Let me know how it goes o... | |

| Massive Attack fans.... Ryanp100I don't think Portishead is dead. From what I've heard, they have a new album coming out this year. | |
| Massive Attack fans.... It is due to go out on February 14 in Canada. I assume it is the same release date for the US. | |
| Where can I get my power cables cry'oed? AudioNut offers a cryo-treatment service. | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Hi Albert,If it's not too late, I'd be interested in three of those. Let me know how to proceed for payment. Thanks,Eric |
