| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Warren, you just asked me for my system layout a few days ago. It's self explanatory. Just add the number of pieces. Then look at Lak's.As for marketing, it is evident the Sistrum is a *boutique* product. So are the explanations... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Of course Jay is right! he points out the very essence of all this mess, of which you are a MAJOR contributor:But my and others' objections are not about Sistrum's performance. They're about the very questionable, science-like claims and explanati... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Warren, the Sistrum is not designed for people like Sean nor myself. Our systems are complex. The Sistrum was designed to be marketed (and rightfully so) to a particular type of individuals. I knew it when I saw it in Lak's system. Try placing my ... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 The toneram rewiring requires to make a spacing jig. The distance from the collar to the clips must be EXACTLY equal to the originals or the spring loaded gold plated pins will not work properly. Also, the soldering temperature must be exact and t... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Audiotweak: Sistrum won't beat Moca wood. Sean knows better--he's got a board... | |

| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Audiotweak, wake up and smell the roses! | |
| Venturing into Vinyl - Phono Stage Questions In your budget, will be very hard to get a low enough noise floor w/ tube phono stages. I use a Monolithic PS-1 phono stage. I chose it for its musicality and designers' reputation. It is a stellar performer. Just add a good power cord and cones. | |
| Digital as good or better than YOUR analog? Sorkowsi, good power delivery/noise control, tuning and room acoustics treatments are an integral part of a *systems* approach for your entire setup. Unless you do this right, you'll never get to reap the most of your money spent. End of story.May... | |
| Digital as good or better than YOUR analog? Sorlowski, a CD/DVD's performance relies *heavily* on the quality of electricity being fed (including power cord) and the tuning system it uses (rack/shelving/cones and/or footers). Electricity and vibration induce jitter. Jitter causes harshness.... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Like I said, Ken Lyons is a class act. | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? The Sistrum guys have a lot to learn from Ken Lyons. He's a class act. | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Goldmund cones are much better than Audiopoints. True, the price difference is wide, but I must not forget my Marigo cones either. Different devices work best in different scenarios and there is no way I could use Goldmund nor Marigo cones under m... | |
