Sistrum SP-004 Platforms

I have just purchased these from Paul on site but due to the size of my speakers they are just not stable enough so I have to put them back up for sale. £170 inc the postage. If you would like to check any details please ask.
Thanks

If you haven't heard of Sistrum platforms, you can find details on the website of the manufacturer, http://www.starsoundtechnologies.com/SinglePlatforms.HTML , where you will also masses of rave reviews (under 'Reviews'). For more independent (but equally positive) views, you can also search for 'sistrum' on US audio forums such as www.audiogon.com. Put very crudely, Sistrum platforms work by both channeling vibrations away from the audio components which sit on them (a bit like Vertex AQ) and preventing outside vibrations entering the component. They are made entirely of metal (the cones or audiopoints are a special kind of brass), which makes them expensive to make and to shipâ€â€which is one reason why they are very rare in the UK. I think it also makes them look pretty tidy, tooâ€â€check out the photos on the manufacturer's webpage.

The SP-004 platforms are the smallest Sistrums. According to the manufacturer, 'the SP-004 is an extremely versatile platform vehicle. The principal uses are placement below floorstanding loudspeaker systems [ie in place of the normal spikes], smaller tube amplifiers such as lower powered triode designs as well as all the newer more compact chassis digital amplifiers. Another dynamic use for the SP-004 is between the mini-monitor and speaker stand. This inclusion guarantees you will be listening to a “new and highly improved†pair of speakers.'
