Hot damn Steve, I now know how Gollum (from Lord of the Rings) felt about his precious. I did a lot of talking to myself and precious since placing the Centerstage2 footers under my Devialet unit. The extreme marked improvement, after nine and a half days in my case, due to replacing Ultra 5s with bases was more then I dreamed possible. From my earspective they are like super human athletes that prevent and reduce vibrations from masking the music by being extremely fast to respond to vibration. While at the same time, not squashing the highs like the Ultra 5s apparently do.
Like many others on this website I thought you might be crying wolf. For a while I read your posts about other footers and Stillpoints too. You had praised others so much I figured some hyperbole was present. Now I don't think you are right, I KNOW you are right. Because my Devialet is pre-amp, amp, DAC, streamer, ADC, ect.,all in one, I believe I got the full monty in one swoop. I most definitely dig the extra immersion when sitting still, but I often dance and move from room to room so the best factors to me are the glorious micro detail and musical transients throughout the audio spectrum. The clarity of voices, horns, drums, strings ect. AND because the bass information sent from the Devialet pre-outs is so very much improved, the bass coming from my 2 JL-113s is greatly improved. I am able to play bass below 25hz unrestricted now. Before the set of CS2, the bass below 25hz detracted from the music and was out of step with music so I removed all below 25hz. Now the bass below 25hz is so locked in step with music that it improves the lows, mids and highs already present along with improving PRAT from what already is a 'pratty' system. This low bass also made clear venue info on music I did not realize was even there. Every note is obviously improved so much that all my music is revealing so much I did not realize was missing. I praise Steve and Joe but his son most :>) Marc
