I have some very nice equipment in my stereo.
1. Esoteric XO-5
2. Parasound JC2 Preamp
3. Parasound Halo JC1 Monoblock AmpsĀ
4. Chicago Speakerworks Quartet with Dual 10" Subs
My system is tied together with Shunyata Stratos interconnect and speaker wire. All power cords are Shunyata ranging from Python to Anaconda CX. The entire system was floated completely on Stillpoints Ultra SS.
I really thought the sound in my dedicated listening room couldn't get any better . . . I was wrong. All I did was replace my Ultra SS with the model 6's. To say there was an improvement would be a massive understatement. The sound was much better in all parameters. Soundstage, depth, width, dynamics, tone quality and focus were all improved by a huge margin. But I feel that the biggest improvement is slam. The system has that in spades now.
The beauty of your products is that there are no "trade offs." Usually when you install a "tweak" in a system, and I wish I could find a better word than "tweak," there is always a compromise. If the soundstage gets better, then the bass gets muddy and so on, but not with Stillpoints. From the moment you put them in your system, the improvements are all positive, and with not compromise.
After almost fifty years in this hobby, I have never come across a product that is all positive with absolutely no negative. Stillpoints improve every facet of my stereo listening experience. I love the idea of choosing the system you like, be it solid state, tubes, plainer or dynamic speakers, and "massaging" the sound.
Everyone hears things differently and your Stillpoints work on any type of system. Your products are not inexpensive, but they work. It's so much more affordable to "massage" your sound than it is to be on the "equipment merry-go-round," and much more satisfying too.
Well, now I have to sell my Ultra SS's so I can replace them with the model 6's. They really do make a dramatic improvement in any system. Without a doubt, Stillpoints are the best "tweak" I have ever come across and your products get my highest recommendation!
