Star Sound Apprentice platforms

I'd be interested in what information you may come up with regarding this platform for use with a Dac, in a current non-Star Sound audio rack also.

Hey Lak,

I'll let you know, I just picked up a few used Apprentice SP-SA 03 platforms and will try them under my dac, preamp, my monoblocks, and if I can I'll try under my speakers. Its hard finding anything negative about these on the net so I guess I'll find out for myself.

My rack is from Adona and basically houses just the dac and pre and source while my monoblocks are on maple slabs but I'll try the Apprentice platforms without them.

Hey Lak,

Just getting back with you about the Apprentice platforms. My components have been sitting on Herbie's sonic hardballs which are placed on an Adona rack and when I replaced the Herbies with the Apprentice's it was a big improvement, especially with the dac. Just like what's been written before...more relaxed and natural sound while being more detailed. Big thumbs up.

I did experiment with taking the Adona rack out of the room and had the Apprentice's on the floor and got an even better improvement with soundstage and depth. I got these Apprentice's here off Audiogon for almost half the original price and they are without a doubt the best money I've spent so far. Star Sound has an excellent product. I can only imagine what the Rhythm's can do.
