Some months ago I butted heads with theaudiotweak, versus my own home brew, lead, and melted plastic, featuring 90# of mass platform.
At that time, I was reluctant, no, make that adamently opposed to the concept that anything would, or could work better than my own product. I ranted and raved with theaudiotweak about physics, arguing Newton's Laws and so on. My points were textbook, but sometimes we have part of the information, and certainly not ALL the information.
And, as is the case, sometimes we find out something new, by simply opening our minds up.
After much sparring around, I invited the 'tweak' over, to my house, at which time, he brought an SP-3 (maybe, I don't know what it is for sure, but I think that's it.) It is designed for CD Players, or DVD, even preamps, and I would think amps.
The result of my experience was, that after 10 minutes of listening, I immediately bought it.
I will take all the flack anyone wants to throw at me for doubting this product, because IT REALLY WORKS!!
With more than 25 years of experience at listening to audio products, and so called tweaks, I have become pretty proficient at sorting out the good from the better, and up to the BEST. I would strongly encourage anyone to at least try the Sistrum under your CD player. The price is reasonable, (I thought) and the results are AMAZING; better focus, imaging, detail,and with a side benefit of about an octave of really detailed bass, gained.
I am blessed with a really good system, as I have the Halcro Amp, Preamp, and a Lexicon Universal Player, with A-1 Sound Lab Speakers. It REALLY SMOKES NOW!!
My humble apologies, to all those people at Sistrum, that I doubted.This proves again, that all that we know, is not enough, and that even things that I can't explain, can be appreciated.
Good listening.
