Star Sound Apprentice platforms
Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Yes I have the 103's under my monoblocks and they work great just like every other piece that I have put Star Sound platforms under. The amps are solid state but I've heard others say tubed equipment gets better re... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
"As a final thought ... If anyone is finding the SR RED fuses to be "sizzly" and "bright," I'd take a good look elsewhere in the system. Work on those micro vibrations ... then get the fuses. "+1

Hey taters, would you like to start another thread with your question? I can start if for if you like. 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
These SR Reds are pretty amazing at what they can do. I have two monoblock amps that have not only a fuse at the inlet but 4 on the board inside. I had changed two at a time over the course of a couple months but when I placed the last two Red fus... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I've had both the AH fuse and Red fuse in the same Preamp and definitely preferred the Red. To me with the AH fuse in the imaging and stage sounded bloated and almost smeared. Whereas the Red lit everything up with great detail without being brigh... 
How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre
Anybody here own the Backstage platforms? If so, where under do you have them placed? 
How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre
Great question Charles1dad, as far as aesthetics go I prefer the look of the Backstage and think it would be a better fit for my speakers vs the Rhythms.

How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre
Ok guys, I received a pair of Rhythm RP1 platforms last week to put under my speakers and just as Robert said the stage got much bigger and much more defined. I was using a couple of Apprentice 103's before the Rhythms showed up and they were grea... 
Star Sound Apprentice platforms
It was kind of a mixed bag of results with the VAC. The unit was set on a wooden slab of some sort, neither one of us knew what type of wood it was and then it was sitting on top of a wooden dresser so a lot variables in play.I thought the VAC def... 
Star Sound Apprentice platforms
I have the Apprentice 103 platforms which have 1.5 inch points. I'm thinking of going with the 104 which has the 2 inch points for my monoblocks. I'll be taking one of the platforms over to a friends house today and try it under his VAC 160i SE. T...

Hey Lak,Just getting back with you about the Apprentice platforms. My components have been sitting on Herbie's sonic hardballs which are placed on an Adona rack and when I replaced the Herbies with the Apprentice's it was a big improvement, especi... 
How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre
Received the Apprentice platforms and immediately put them under my pre/dac/source on my Adona rack and heard an instant improvement over the Herbie's. After a phone call in to Robert at Star Sound (great guy btw) I decided to take out the Adona r...

Thanks guys for the replies.When I get them in this week I give it a go and if I like what I hear I'll give Robert a call and see what other possibilities there are. My monoblocks will be on the floor with just the Apprentices underneath but I'll ...
