sistrum vs neuance


Anyone tried both products? What differences did you hear. A similar thread degenerated in to arguements and name calling. Please, could we talk about the sonics and leave the physics and egos out? I don't want to fight about isolation, energy transfer, etc. but I would love to hear your listening experiences with both products. Thanks

Apples and oranges?

Last month I had a good laugh when I was in Puerto Vallarta and the breakfast menu listed Apples and bananas as exotic fruits while mangos, papayas and guava were just the regular fare.

Nothing regular about the local women there. Wow!
Tom the results are only as good as the understanding of the setup and the devices involved....the other Tom
Theaudiotweak, the primary obstacle I see in the Sistrum method is the necessity to use the system in it's entirety. At least this is my understanding. If I'm mistaken, please feel free to correct me. If my observation is true, then the issues are the overall investment required to obtain the highest performance level, and the restrictive nature of the Sistrum's ability to co-habitate with one's existing rack or cabinet. The lack of these requirements make the Neuance shelves a more cost effective approach for some people. This, of course, has no relation to the argument over which product "sounds best", but it's a valid concern, in my opinion.
I don't know about the Sistrum, but the Neuance transformed my SACD player!

It will be several weeks before I can get a Neuance but I'm looking forward to it. Twl and Tvad are right about trying in your system, however the Neuance would be easier to place. Of course everything depends on how it sounds.
