Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp?
I think we should all ignore geoff's postings and get back to the original question that was obfuscated by Mapman and company and then inadvertently I congested the thread by adding the Star sound benefit to the X-10 MkIII.Please add you experienc... 
I am somewhat amazed that there is no thread dealing with Star Sound Tech's devices
My review of the original Troy is in DaGoGo and of the Troy Signature in StereoTimes.

On seeing the Critical Mass stands, I realize that I have seen and heard them. I have the propensity to enter rooms and to not be thorough if I am not thrilled with what I hear. I'm not saying this to condemn the Critical Mass as there are many ot...

gdhal, I'm sorry to have misdirected this thread and that the lack of science means that nothing can be proven to be correct on vibrations or even on Roger's amp. All that matters to me is what I'm hearing. I am hearing reproductions of performanc...

Geoff,You didn't answer the prime question in the first sentence. Also what measurements were made to decide what pebbles should be used? 
Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp?
gdhal, why would you say this? It is true that there are many who haven't heard it but many other than me have. None have had anything bad to say about it. Does that bother you as it does someone else on this thread?

Geoffkait, so what is best for music isolation or draining vibrations and why? Somebody on this thread some time ago sold "Brilliant pebbles" in a bottle and later decided that having them in a bag was better. Was science and measurement involved....

I once had two Halcyonics active isolation units. They were very expensive units and focused on low frequencies and thought that under my turntable and under my amp. This company ultimately raised prices greatly and was slow in delivery, but I nev...

Geoffkait, you sound like Trump claiming that my post has nothing to do with the topic while you are the one that touts measurement.Get serious! I know you never do measurements from our conversations over the years.Fortunately, neither Roger nor ... 
Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp?
Geoffkait, I think it is disingenuous of you to talk about measurement as much as you do, as I doubt you have ever had any measurement of any of you products. I do agree that measurements would be great for valid concepts, but I know THD is invali... 
Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp?
Yes, I too have given up on isolation after experiencing the Star Sound Technologies Audio Points and other devices.I am also guilty of experiencing the TriPoint Troy Signature and the Thor SE grounding cables. I also gave up on thing bits are bit... 
Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp?
gdhal, Good information is evidenced by it working, this is the theory part of the scientific method. There is also good reason for a designer to not really tell what is true.I have been able to greatly improve the sound of Roger's amp using the n...

atmasphere, perhaps I was painting with too broad a brush. I apologize.    Physics and EE were two of my undergraduate majors but then I got involved with computers and using the scientific method to illuminate how people vote and why most state p... 
Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp?
atmasphere, since I started this thread making exactly your main point, namely let this amp prove itself, as it has with all the first adopters, you are the point who is digging a hole for yourself, as you have no credence in discussing how it wor...

audiolabryinth, Critical Mass makes speakers. Why do you mention them here?
