Birmingham and Bristol can be particularly tough on a Londoner

yes , I am an exiled Londoner but love Birmingham
So, a guy on WBF who took my reco and "I bought a set of Ultra Diamond Resonator and placed them. Under the pre. Wossshh they did a Dramatic diference with the precedent feet ! How can I say because my english vocabulary is a bit limited I can summarise as stupidly as much more "musical" music reproduction. More organic and more emotionnally involving. The impression of being more in contact with the musician. The impression for me to be more part of the whole event.
I listened to some well known records and I never heard music this good and involving in my system until now. Didn.t even imagined I could best my system in such a way only woth 3 pieces of wood. It's a kind of magic."
....(cont'd in another post) I just ordered another set of used UDR in germany. Where do you think I should try it first ? I also surprise myself thinking about the Giant Resonators, something I couldn't imagine before hearing to what UDR are capable of.... Did I say crazy ? Does someone here already exprienced with Giant vs Ultras ?"
And then from another guy
"They were a revelation under my b.p.t. and Entreq grounding. My take is that unlike Stillpoints, which accentuate the leading edge of notes, the Mooks accentuate the body of the note, enhancing tone. They do amazing things w/basslines. All holistic, making each note more "together", not a forensic enhancement as I found Stillpoints to bring my sound."
And yet another "Great news with your Mooks ****igh. I received 14 more discs today which have expanded my soundstage again."

Since the StillPoints accentuate the leading edge and the Mooks accentuate the body of the note, I wonder if a combo would yield the best of both technologies? Or maybe not. I put the little StillPoints under my CD/SACD player/DAC and was pretty blown away by the difference in the sound stage, bigger more defined.
On components like Cdp, dac, pre and power I still have to meet a single guy who has preferred the still points or considered them even close to the mooks (among those who have heard both - I owned the still points before, for example). Under a speaker, there is no choice. It has to be still points

According to the opinions on WBF, it's all over the map. Some like Stillpoints, some Shun Mook, Some Dalby Audio D7 Lvse 90 footers, and as for record clamps one likes nothing. I have a friend with a very high end system who swore by Stillpoints as "the best" but has moved on to Absolare footers - even better. In the end, all make a difference, whether it's what you prefer is entirely up to you.
If you read the opinions on wbf, I haven't seen that among those who have heard both. There are a lot preferring still points, but not over mooks. There is one guy who prefers the Dalby, and I can't comment as I haven't heard it. I haven't heard absolare either. I owned both, I won't go to still points ever again, and I don't know anyone whose place I have been to, who had either of still points, symposiums, or cerabase, who did not prefer the mooks far more. Not even a close call. Still points are the obvious choice for under the speakers

You are on the wbf thread, I just picked the data from the members' response. Would still be an interesting experiment to see if combined they yield additive improvements.

BTW - I think you all have the Shun Mook Audio product names wrong. According to their site, the 2 larger chunks of wood with a shiny stone attached are called - and I quote, "URTRA DIAMOND RESONATORS (U.D.R.)" and "GAINT DIAMOND RESONATORS (G.D.R.)".
Nice....

Bernard, I remember you mentioning you didn't like Mahler? I watched Haitink conduct the first last weekend and it was awesome. Listen to the first 4 minutes of this one

Kedar, it does nothing for me. I hear it as a bunch of themes, with nothing cohesive. Just as soon as you think a musical phrase is being developed, it changes into something entirely different. It's almost like listening to the music from a suspenseful movie, without watching the movie. Sorry, "Der Titan" is not for me.
I used to have a recording of it, but gave it away as every time I tried to listen to it, it irritated me.
Vive la difference!
