Wolf Von Langa SON (TAS 2022 PofY) and Gestalt Audio - my experience & review
It’s been a few weeks now since Colin came out and set up my WVL SONs. I’ve been too busy listening to write about my experience. It was a busy, long day while Colin was here. Not only did he set up the speakers, but he brought a few different spe... 
Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?
Fair enough. Correlation doesn’t mean causation      
Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?
The basic design of the Sistrum and newer Rhythm stands is a steel platform with downward facing brass Audiopoints connecting the platform to the floor and upward facing Audiopoints connecting the platform to the equipment. The position of the poi... 
Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?
There are several substantial brass and steel parts to these stands, which we can be adjusted to fit your equipment. We had to loosen and move them to fit the new speakers then tighten. So that combined with the 100 lb weight of the speakers resul... 
Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?
They are now at livevibeaudio.com. I will be trading in my Sistrums for the Rhythm-jr platforms, which should fit nicely under my speakers. The Sistrums take up a lot of real estate.

I have been using Starsound Sistrum SP-101 stands on wooden floors for the past 10 years. These use the technology that @audiopoint describes above.  I originally had them beneath my Audiokinesis Jazz Modules in three different rooms with great su...

@grannyring thanks for the advice on footers and cables. I’ll follow up with an update after speakers are set up.

I will certainly share my impressions of the SONs with my Circle Labs gear. One challenge in my 11x17 room is that there a bathroom with a door that opens out along the side wall near where the right speaker is placed. While having a bathroom is c...

My WVL SONs are arriving Monday and Colin is coming to set them up later in the week. He’s also being a variety of cables to try out. Should be a big week!  
Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System
@mitch2 Thank you!! Off topic: did you switch from your EVO DAC to the Mystique X? Is there a noticeable improvement? I have the Pro.   
Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System
@lalitk Thanks. I have the Eno now but contemplating the Muon. My streamer is a Mojo Audio Deja Vu with JCAT XE USB and ethernet. Wondering how much additional performance I'd get by adding the Muon.

Is the Muon Pro available? I don't see it on the NA website.

I’m also curious about that close to wall placement as well regarding bass but also depth of soundstage.

Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
@grannyring Your speaker cables are excellent and I am using your interconnects as well. I’d like to hear the Hijiri speaker cables and maybe Tchernov cables. I have Hijiri Nagomi power cords on my amp and preamp and would like to get some for the...
