Sistrum or Neuance or...?


I'm considering some isolation for my transport and DAC. Which of the Sistrum or Neuance do you recommend? Or what else? I'm certainly open to suggestions. Thanks.

Ohlala, I'm sorry that you feel that way. But of course, with your past posting history, I'm not surprised.

I'd express my opinions about you too, but don't want to sully the board as you did.

For one who apparently feels so high and mighty as to pass judgment(ie: narcissistic) on others here, you show quite a need of humility yourself. Whether YOU "believe" our technology, or not, is of no concern to me. Many others who actually use our items KNOW that they work well, and need no "beliefs" to bolster their experiences.

If you feel that Sean is the benchmark of audio knowledge, fine, but I would disagree. However, you seem to be somewhat selective in your opinion of whose "ethics" you approve of, and perhaps you need to review the reasons for his dismissal for extreme lack of them.

All my posts have withstood the scrutiny of the moderators here, and they have been monitored. Starsound's "deal" with Audiogon is the same as any other supporting advertiser, without whom the members would not enjoy the benefit of this website.

Whether you, or others, personally like me or not, is not a matter of priority to me. What matters to me is that some members of this website can get better sound from their systems by learning things about audio here, and that is why I post here. Not a popularity contest. I found out long ago that I can't please everybody all the time, and apparently you are one(among a few others) that isn't pleased. That's okay with me.

I've reduced my posting on this board by about 80% from my previous contributions, and the bulk of my typing time now comes from answering many emails from members asking me for advice about their systems. Oddly enough, they don't share your views about me. And I do everything I can to help them. And many times I don't even discuss anything that I sell. Surprise!

But actually, I don't need to explain myself to you, or anyone else. Let the chips fall where they may. You're taking your shot at "poster pressure". Let's see how far it gets you. You won't get me thrown off here by baiting me into a tirade or anger fit. I've been around way too long to bite on that one.

Back to playing records now.
Cheers.
Bye bye - what grotesque pleasure I got out of joining this bankrupt thread has waned. Now back to a word from our sponsor...
"Narcissistic" was a poor choice. “People” was an even worse choice. Apologies to Twl and everyone. Please replace with "self-complimentary" and “salesmen”, respectively. I sincerely wanted to make my argument specific and shot myself in the foot.

"you show quite a need of humility yourself"

I am quite aware of my personality. I appreciate when someone can take me to task. Giving your opinion of me without giving your opinion of me isn’t interesting to me.

What I believe about your technology is irrelevant to any of my points, and whether I consider Sean a benchmark is irrelevant. Ethically, nothing Sean did flipped my switch. There are a lot of ethical issues in the world. One has to pick their battles, so stating I do not address any others is not a defense or an offense of any kind.

"All my posts have withstood the scrutiny of the moderators here, and they have been monitored. Starsound's "deal" with Audiogon is the same as any other supporting advertiser, without whom the members would not enjoy the benefit of this website."

Audiogon was here before you. For good reason we had a rule, that is still posted, about not allowing posts obviously trying to sell something. If we all were trying to sell something on the forums this would be one sorry site. All I can do is post what I think in the forums. There is no plan of action as you claim; I'm just not going to shrug and let this one pass. Others have maintained a presence in audiogon without injecting substanceless advertisements. There has been an exchange of expertise and company awareness, but not with Star Sound.

“I've reduced my posting on this board by about 80% from my previous contributions, and the bulk of my typing time now comes from answering many emails from members asking me for advice about their systems.

I am already aware of this.

I never asked you to explain yourself. I would never try to induce you in to a tirade to get you kicked out, a notion I find absurd.
Thank you Ohlala, for your very reasonable, and polite response.

I appreciate that.
