Star Sound Sistrum pltfm? About to pull trigger.

My CD player has been knocked off the Audio Points TWICE by family members. Tom Lyons responded to my initial email very promptly (QUITE impressive). I did what he suggested, but still had the second "event." I've read that the Sistrum Platform is GREAT, and I already have the discs. On the points, the CD player was great sounding, and I'm not real anxious to change technologies. I tried isolation (Audioquest "Q" things) and in my system, coupling (with the points) was better.

OK, OK, so here's the question: Can anyone think of a reason that the Sistrum would be a BAD idea? Things that are good: 1)my dealer carries them; 2)Tom Lyons himself answered my email--fast; 3)the Audio Points already worked well, and the Sistrum is SAID to be even better; 4)the Sistrum wouldn't fall over, I'm pretty sure. So, anything to "beware" of? Nothing is coming to mind for me.

I have the Sistrum rack which I bought based on having heard it at CES and RMAF and the recommendation of Tom Lyons. I have had it for a couple of months and I'm terribly impressed with the rack.

There are points which point up and contact the bottom of your gear, so employing something between the gear and points might be desireable. I don't use them since I'm not that concerned about the bottom of the gear, and I don't move the stuff once it's in place...

Pull the trigger!
