Do isolation devices really help?

I believe that the Systrum is distributed by Star Sound and is designed by a former Essence Audio employee.A manufacturer/distributor advised these under my table.I insisted on Walker Points.I had to contact him to determine the cause of his delay.He said "he was amazed at the sound of his product/change that the Points made.
Generally a "soft" foot will warm up the sound,at the expense of top and bottom end extension."Hard" usually tightens things up-beware of metallurgy and termination of said device.Improper termination can lead to ringing/brightness.

In my opinion they do affect the sound but in absolute terms they do not deserve the hype and certainly the exorbitant cost-perhaps they constitute the most easily ''get used to it'' upgrade in any system. Beyond the electromechanical explanations, the cheaper, the better is nowhere more suitable. I have a sumposium acoustics shelf under my Sony 777 but the law of diminising returns puzzles me hard.

Good-day all,

Cdc, please try your search again for Sistrum Platforms as much is written here.

You may also visit our website at www.starsound.biz and review a few equipment reports from some very critiquing and experienced Editors from this Specialty Audio Industry.

Regards to the Mini Monitor Sistrum Platforms which are scheduled to release this November 14, 2002, photographs can be obtained through email. Simply request the images from our contact page and we will forward them on to you.

The review of our SMM-1 Sistrum Platform for small monitors that appears on this site was written by one of Audiogon’s long time participants whom we have sold one of the initial pairs manufactured.

We have always made it a habit to sell our newest designs to some of the highly qualified veterans in this audio market. This strategic process helps us in determining the finality of design prior to the initial production run that is offered to the mass market. We title this procedure Beta Listeners.

These Beta Listeners are chosen at random. Some of these listeners have even initiated projects for us based on their previous purchases or futuristic insight as to what products are needed to enhance the enjoyment of listening. They have helped us understand audiophile’s first impressions that aid us in finalizing all of our designs. This process insures that the initial production run is simply the finest product we are capable of producing. It also insures that our level of quality control is maintained at all levels of production and shipping.

We listen to what the listener is searching for and apply our technology to those requests thus inventing newfound processes and products that simply make us the company we are.

For those audiophiles who do not believe in resonance control and/or the ill effects caused from its presence, contact me. Based on applying geometry through the understanding of physics and the variables that exist, we will provide you some additional technical insight. We can also provide you a few experiments you can try on your own without even purchasing any of our products.

Star Sound Technologies, LLC has a reputation for quality of build and function of design thus our 100% Total and Complete Customer Satisfaction Guarantee remains our focus for success.

Our company profile and the invention of our products through applied sciences are very much the result from our Beta Listener programs. We owe so much to a very few.

Although I do prefer one on one contact with the public (always feel free to telephone me toll free 1-877-668-4332) I felt the need to respond in writing.

Thank you for your time and please do not construe these statements as a method of advertisement, - for our commitment to further the enjoyment of music is always our first and immediate protocol.

Very truly yours and as always – Good Listening !

I recently placed my ss monos on wood amp stands with wheels. The overall system sound became softer and more pleasant.

What kind of wheels? Should I get radial tires for them? Isn't it anathema to have casters under racks? Aren't spikes or cones de rigueur?
