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.

I think Robert's response is more than fair. Of course (it's obvious by the responses)his response can be tweaked whichever way the mind wants to perceive it. Listen and decide for yourself. No pressure. Don't like it? Send it back. Can't beat that with a stick...though some of you can...

BTW, I know many parasites, bugs, and pigs for that fact, that love eating manure. Maybe they know something that we don't. You should taste it one day. It may just resonante with you.
Good question to Sean. Well? At your doorstep. Moneyback guarentee. Wouldn't you give it a try?
PA, I think it's best to keep this in the I. Let me hear from Sean what he thinks. He might merely ditto you, but I'd rather hear it from him. What was it about Lak's system that made the Sistrum conducive, but not to your "complex" system? The Sistrum is "designed to be marketed ( rightfully so) to particular individuals." Would you care to elaborate? thanks in advance, warren
Saffy, wait until you get those Caravelles on top of their dedicated stands. Fasten your seatbelt. You have heard nuttin yet. The upper end will blossom. Everything will improve. What you have now? Man, do have something to look forward to. Please share with us, your tympanic experiences after you get your stands. peace, warren
Tony, couldn't have said it better myself. Aspirin, for one, (and there are many more) has been around for for years and has been quite effective, wouldn't you say? There are still a host of things that aspirin does effectively that cannot be explained scientifically, including, getting rid of an old fashioned headache. Theory, yes, but no solid scientific reasons. If a drug's effectiveness, say aspirin, cannot be fully explained, will you still take it when you get a headache? Aren't you happy and satisfied that it works. I, still, do not undertand the reluctance to try a product, that offers a full moneyback guarentee if you're not happy. Why o why are so many, (actually, it is really a few) so close minded about giving the Sistrum Rack Systems a trial?

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.
Good to hear Scotty333. How much is Sistrum paying you? They give me a nice little kick back. Oops!, are we on the 'gon? lol....I love to hear a happy Sistrum customer. That's the difference between a shill and enthusiasm: a paycheck/ or satisfaction turning on another audiophool to something you believe in. I hope you know where I be... Makes my day...peace, warren
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
Larry, thanks for that post. Another, true believer. Now that you've had the opportunity to hear what coupling to mother earth can do for your electronics ask Tom to bring his Harmonic Precision Caravelles with the stands over to your place, so you can hear what their speakers can do. Hooked up to that killer system of yours will bring out the very best those speakers have to offer. They are internally constructed utilizing the same resonant tranferring principles. I've been verbally beaten to death about the Caravelles , (possibly due to my adnauseam raving, I realize) but the thought of your golden tympanics listening to these babies (having your speakers as a referent) gives me the chills. I guranentee you'll freak out when you hear them. NO doubt, in my mind. Sorry that I've gotton , a bit, off the beaten path, but we're talking about a phenomenal sounding mini monitor speaker, here. Fasten your seatbelt, there's danger in these waters. Many angry Sistrum non believer/bashers out there. I know you're up to the task. Thanks again for your honest and cogent assessment. peace, warren
Newbee, you're right on that. "not everybody's cup of tea." But for most, who've taken the time to listen? Man that's beer!!!
A few weeks ago, I spoke to Robert over at Starsound and he expressed his excitement about the audio shows they will be participating in September and October. I plum forgot the names of the shows, but I'm sure as the time nears, we will hear more about them. This will be a wonderful opportunity for those that are geographically situated to hear their electronics, Sistrum line, and their Harmonic Precision Caravelles. I cannot wait to hear the press and excitement, especially about their new monitor the Caravelle, that will be generated by the show. Little by slowly (you being one) Starsound is making believers out of, even those, like yourself, who were hard sells. I'm not a dealer or shill ( some 'goners have beaten me up with that BS rap) , just a content, somewhat overexhuberant, at times, audiophool, trying to spread the wealth. Can't t wait to the Fall. All apologies will be accepted..... peace, warren
PA, your one liner just doesn't add up. Why are things worse? Be specific, if you can. Robert is being clear, upfront, non controversial, inviting questions, approachable and..... Hey what more do you want, his first born? Your laconic repsonse is unfair and mean spirited, as usual, when it comes to Starsound....
