Sistrum or Neuance or...?

The empire sings a different tune! Sistrum backers are no longer repeating Star Sound's self-contradicting techno-slogans. Instead, they have started saying things like, Star Sound doesn't have to explain anything to us (I heartily agree, so I hope they stop!)... we don't know why aspirin or cement works, so should we stop using them?... we should just judge the product on how it performs, etc., etc.

This is such a sudden role reversal, I worry that there's been an invasion of body-snatchers. But, hey, it's a step in the right direction. Nobody's choice of equipment has been criticized here; noone's taste has been impugned; there's just been a protest over junk science. Enjoy your stuff.

I love the way this junk improves the sound of my stuff and so do my friends also enjoy vasts amount of smiles when they listen to their stuff on top of this junk.It makes their stuff sound bigger taller wider as if the band has moved into their places to play till 4am just before they gotta go deliver their paper route. Just all around the result is better more enjoyable stuff.

Jayboard: Your post wreaks of logic. Logic has no place in this thread or in the purchase of audio / audio support componentry. That is, at least according to some. Please don't stir the pot any more and let this thread die a peaceful death. Sean

I find it humorous that some(actually about 3) people think that an entire product line could be designed (from the ground up) around a certain concept, works totally awesomely(according to the users), yet these same people think that the manufacturers have no clue how it works (Even after several explanations).

I think it far more likely that these same people lack the necessary technical understanding to grasp the obvious explanations that have been put forth several times on this thread already.

Just because certain individuals fail to accept or understand certain technical facts about the working of these products, has no bearing on anything. These products still do work as advertised, and operate exactly on the principles described at least twice in some of the above posts. Discussions of "logic" when totally misapplied, and based on faulty misconceptions about our product, are not helpful to anyone.

Thousands of other audiophile users do accept and understand these concepts, and buy the products, and are ecstatic with the results. Statistically, that makes the few grumblers and misunderstanders in this thread a negligable representation, which is to be expected when dealing with large numbers of people.

I'm truly sorry that some cannot manage to grasp the idea behind these products, but it has been explained at least twice.

If this is not enough, there is another explanation forthcoming, as promised, from our engineering staff. We really would like to have everyone understand these things if possible. We don't want to leave anyone "out in the cold", except to the extent that they may refuse to accept our statements.

Please stay tuned for this, if you still are having trouble with these concepts.

For the rest of the people in the world, we can continue to do business as usual, and continue to improve the sound of peoples' systems who can understand and do buy our products.

TWL, I hadn't intended to post on this thread again until I saw your "white paper".
As it stands I have read all of the posts in this thread, am somewhat technically inclined, and I still do not understand the design principals espoused by your employer or yourself.
I believe a maunufacturer and its representatives should bend over backward to explain its product in terms which either a layman or a technician can understand, something that can easily be done without fear of revealing something that isn't protected by trademark, copyright, or patent protection.
For some reason, which is unfathomable to me, you have elected to denegrate those who have questioned the current statements of yourself and your employer rather than (1) Publishing materiels that anticipates these questions and answers them before they are asked or (2) responds to the questions with specific answers explaining how your product specifically resolves the problems which typically cause the questions to arise. Personally, I'm a sucker for specificity, but I'm not suseptible to your present arguments for your product that say because the manufacturer says it sounds good and a lot of people who use it say it sounds good then it must be good and your questions are there for ignorance based or inappropriate.
It may be good, but then again if you put BS in a box with a pretty ribbon you will not only sell a bunch of boxes, but you will get testimonials as to its great flavor.
As for me, you no longer need to be concerned with my questions. The apparently corporate attitude conveyed in this post has killed any interest I might have had in your product.
