Accustic Arts

With all do respect, if you want to start a thread called Dev versus Tbg, or something more creative, do so - not that it isn't fun to see the back and forth, but can we get back on topic? How does the AA stack up against the competition? Is there something better? If so, in what way? Are there ways to optimize the perfomance of the AA? Power Cords? Isolation Devices? CD Mats, Clamps, etc.

I agree Pubul57 so I'm done.

The "AA" transport is a great piece, I bought that Marigo mat to actually try with it because it was recommended by another "AA" owner so you might want to pick one up yourself and try. There are a few out there including the one Hotbird mentioned.

I had the transport sitting on a Critical Mass platform and noticed a positive difference, lower floor noise, separation clearer, dynamics and voices more defined. There are a few like SRA that are reasonably priced that should compete.

I am using a Richard Grey Pro 400 for my sources but I do want to try what Teajay had recommended and is using because I have heard from the few using the same with great results.

Pubul57, I cannot imagine that Accustic Arts would have put a sub-optimal puck with the transport. I have been unable to identify anyone to really ask about their reaction to using mats, but I must say I have three mats around here from long ago efforts to find a beneficial mat and am hesitant to try them. Previously I had an Esoteric X-01 LE and was warned about using mats.

Dev and TBG:

Any chance you guys could use complete sentences and observe basic rules of grammer? It would make your joust much more entertaining. Thanks.

What you talk, guy? Who dat Dev? : )
