Stillpoints and reference-level speakers

Glory,
Your posts and comments seldom make much sense to me or are worthwhile. Let's just agree that we communicate differently and leave it at that.
Charles,

With rare exceptions (such as recordings with phase anomalies), two-channel stereo doesn't produce 3-dimensional sound.

My experience of 30+ years paints quite a different picture. And without exception, such performance requires a tube line stage / preamp with tube regulated PS to pull it off in spades.

When I can follow musicians moving around on stage, closer to me and further from me, and not just lateral positional changes, I'd call that 3D.

That is why I said: I am better in sound than in words. Sound says it all.

Comparing between different options is the fun part of audio.

In 7 years of time I tell people first the difference between 2 and 3 dimensional sound. After this I give a demo. When they go to other shops they come back. And Always give the same answer; 3d is so much more involving.

I also hear it in the reactions. People who have a 3d sound play a lot more music compared to people who play 2 dimensional.

People who played 2 dimensional and play now 3 dimensional. Say that they never had so much fun in listening.

At the end audio is about music and listening. So keep it simple and convincing.

The gold colour makes it look cheap and F...ugly. I don't understand why they didn't use a silver look.

The choice of brass is purely a matter of material science. Furthermore, the fabrication and material cost is significantly higher than Stillpoints. They are substantial pieces.

I am glad you like your Stillpoints. i have owned both and at this juncture prefer SS.

1972,

What's the F.... stuff mean in your posts?

Gold is hot. My whole system is Gold.

You from NY, sir??

"I will write a review about the Ultra SS soon for under my speakers. It is impressive what it does. Without it you miss a lot."

Had them under my speakers and the Sistrum stuff is just so much better. Of course ugly is sin!
