Sistrum or Neuance or...?

I tried various "stuff". You can email me for details. What surprised me the most was the level of improvement. Yes, I expected an improvement, but not as much as I got with the sistrum amp stand (and I have the lesser model). I have VAC equip. amp and pre + dac. The VAC stuff is terrific tube equipment by the way. A big difference was the speaker stands. As an example, the aurios just didn't do it. I know others like it, I didn't. BD was nice, musical, but not in the same league as the sistrum speaker stands. So,,,I tried their lesser model amp stand. Lower noise floor, more musical, more detail, better soundstage, imaging, cleaner highs, better bass...you get the picture. But what i like the most is the improved dymamics...what the heck, a free trial....I actually tried the stuff based on reading audiogon. It really works. If you really want to know, I am not even tempted to try other stands, it sounds that good. I ordered the upgraded amp stand. I will let you know how that sounds after I break it in.

Scottser, you gots to be careful on this thread. If you rave about Sistrum, be prepared to be called a "shill." ....'twill be a little less painful, now, thank god. Glad you love them. I know where you be.....there's lots of yogurt out there.....the cream always comes to the top..peace, warren

Warren, When someone brags about their stuff, even if they can't describe the things that make it great, or even if they have little frame of reference thats OK. They are not shills. However, when someone sends e-mails unsolicited to other forum members encouraging them to buy Star Sound Products, as you did to me very recently, they become something more than enthuiastic consumers. You can call them what ever you like, but I can live with the term shill.

Newbee, I've been called worst. Let's rehash this thread and go over it another 140 posts worth. It's the Audiogon enui waltz.

Scott, I'm just an enthusiastic Starsound consumer. That's all. No motives, other than to spread the word to other audiophools. Some out there are more sensitive to "unsolicited" enthusiasm than others. I've emailed others about the YBA Passion Integre and the Audio Aero Prima, as well. I suppose I'm a shill for those companies as well? Have been known, on ocassion to recommend Harmonix power cords and ICs. I own those, as well. Been a shill for Harmonix since January. I love being a shill. Oops, almost forgot. I'm a shill for Audio Magic, too. Just call me the shillster.

Guys, I got the upgraded amp stand and yes its quite a nice improvment. I am definitely keeping it. Everything is just better. Better dynamics, lower noise floor, bigger soundstage, cleaner sound, better highs and lows. It took about 10 days for the mechanical break-in.
