| Rack placement - what works best? Open architecture stands like the Sistrum racks evoke a strong center point for the music to hang from. I have my Sistrum rack centered and a couple feet behind the rear plane of my still almost Dunlavy SC4's. In my 2 channel only system many list... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA777es CD Player 10 year old PS Audio transport and DAC totally outclassed a Sony SCD-XA777es in my system when playing back red book cd's.. The PS combo soundstage extended from wall to wall and floor to ceiling 21 feet by 9 feet. The Sony stage barely extended p... | |
| bolting speakers to floor? Blueswan and Jctubes are correct. Bolting your speakers to the floor may keep them from hitting you in the head during an earthquake but will screw up the sound the other 99.95 of the time. Sistrum platforms will transfer at a high speed, all extr... | |
| Thiel 3.6 and 'grounding' / insulating Pvanosta I know your money will drasticaly be better spent on Audionpoints or better yet Sistrum Platforms. These devices will allow the cabinet resonance to leave the cabinet and shunt to ground. Placing the speakers on stone or marble is not goi... | |
| Review: Sistrum Mini-Minitor Platform Support-SMM 1 Stand Patrick, I use APCD discs on the top set of points, those that face up at the bottom of the speaker. The bottom set of points penetrate the carpet and pad and then onto the concrete floor underneath. Remember I have, almost still Dunlavy SC4's. Th... | |
| Review: Sistrum Mini-Minitor Platform Support-SMM 1 Stand Rockhead your VR's would improve dramatically sitting upon Sistrum Sp-1. I know this to be true. I use SP1's under my dual Paradigm Servo15's. Want to hear coherent bass with no overhang or resonant coloration to the midrange. Make sure you use th... | |
| Speaker Stands Original Audiopoints with optional APCD discs. These discs will greatly enhance the sound of your speakers when used with the Audiopoints on a hard surface such as glass tile or marble. Also enhance components sitting on wood shelves or floors.. M... | |
| Thiel 3.6 and 'grounding' / insulating Jph1 I agree with you, accoustic sealers painted on wooden panels do in fact improve soundstage and detail. I used a product available from Cascade Audio Engineering on my still somewhat Dunlavy SCIV's. What a royal pain to do, but oh what an impr... | |
| long i/c run...looking for high end cable Probably sound like a broken 78 record but I love my Sonoran Signature cables. I use thru-out my system. Amp to pre-amp are 1 meter the same from d/a to preamp. I use 1.42meter digital cable which is fabulous. My dual servo 15's are feed by a 10ft... | |
| Thiel 3.6 and 'grounding' / insulating Thiel 3.6's tend to have plumy bass on most any music except classical. I have found by using the brass Audiopoints from Star Sound the bass becomes more articulate with much better speed. Added benefit of cleaning up the bass is you now have a be... | |
| Best reasonable$ upgrade from spikes? Guaranteed best upgrade that will improve every aspect of your speaker system will be Sistrum SP004 platforms. These are also from the makers of the Original Audio Points and are available from Star Sound. You will also need 12 coupling discs to e... | |
| Looking for a Shotgun... SONORAN SIGNATURE BI-WIRE SHOTGUN 6FT PAIR IS MY CABLE OF CHOICE. Neutral, fast, transparent,textured,spacious,dynamically coherent,superb build quality,individually numbered, purchased new from Star Sound at a price that did not wound my wallet. ... | |
| Good & Inexpensive Amplifier Stand for ARC VT100 Investment in a platform you will never replace would be the wisest choice. The Sistrum platforms will greatly improve the sound of any amp..solid state or tube. In fact the improvement will be so great it will be as if you had bought a new amp. I... | |
| Out on the tiles...with speaker spikes. Apc-d coupling discs from Starsound will give you the most improvement in sound. Lak is correct these work perfectly on all types of wood or stone products and they are an extension of The Audiopoint so they do improve energy transfer.. Its a comb... | |
