Sistrum or Neuance or...?

To get back to the original question. I personally prefer the Neuance to the Sistrum. However, there is no perfect solution to vibration isolation/tuning, just as there is no perfect cable for all systems. For example, the Neuance could sound too laid back or have too light a touch in some systems. On the other hand the Sistrum may sound too forward in others. While I have been a big advocate of the Neuance, there are items that do not sound better on the Neuance. I have never particularly liked the Sistrum (maybe due to prejudice given their marketing BS about Coulomb this and that, and their unethical behaviour on this forum), but I could see its point when I tried it, and can understand how it could be the best there is for some systems. That's just the way audio is.

Oh my...

Just out of interest Bevan, what other cones, spikes, rollerblocks, platforms did you try the Audiopoints against in coming to your conclusion? Or are you saying they are an improvement over nothing. Being in NZ too I am interested in where you might have got hold of them to try. I have tried Audiopoints and some other Sistrum stuff, as well as many similar things, but it tends to be an expensive hobby when you have to buy and sell as well as meet freight costs to/from the rest of the world whenever you want to try things.

Well said Ohlala. However Sistrum's goons will now come in with a barrage of 'don't knock what you haven't tried', and 'I tried it (against an unstated control, which could have been dog turd) and liked it', to simply skew the discussion back to their advertising message.

Bye bye - what grotesque pleasure I got out of joining this bankrupt thread has waned. Now back to a word from our sponsor...
