Testing and embracing Stacore

- Start date
Thank you for posting this link, Tango. Congratulations Jarek on a great review. Extracting more resolution from a system with no downside is what we are all after.
Jarek, the kudos to you are 100% deserved. Living with Stacores under bpt and cdp for several months now has been wholly positive. This has now been replicated under my tt (indeed, life without a Stacore under my cdp is quite “interesting”). The platform only brings positive attributes, nothing negative at all as far as I can see/hear.
Thank you guys!
We are not fast as we prefer to be safe tan sorry but we are progressing on this project.
Cheers,

You are welcome. Actually this review has been out for a few months already in highfidelity.pl but positive-feedback just linked it up recently. Spiritofmusic, the brand ambassador, just forgot to do his job and post it
.Kind regards,

Lol, hilarious... and most remiss MarcYou are welcome. Actually this review has been out for a few months already in highfidelity.pl but positive-feedback just linked it up recently. Spiritofmusic, the brand ambassador, just forgot to do his job and post it

Well, my tt is well and truly performing after 3 weeks of the worst ever burn in Hell. It’s just getting better and better. And I’ve tried a couple of times to compare the effects of Stacore Adv under the tt v tt back on my Symposium Isis rack. And it’s really not subtle.
The Stacore just allows the low end to really express itself, so much more extension, agility, and zero bleed into mids. The mids are truly open, textured and deep, with imaging and air off the scale. And the last thing to blossom, the treble, is proving to be sweet and extended. The tt is sounding fine on the rack too, but the Stacore is like getting the analog out of cruise mode and letting it motor in the fast lane.

I recently installed 2 Basic Plus's and 2 Advanced Stacore's in my 16 x 22 x 10 room. In short, this is the best my room has ever sounded. Pin point imaging, a wide wrap around sound stage and much improved bass. A friend of mine met Jarek in Poland this summer. When he returned and after emailing back and fourth with Spirit, I placed the order. His platforms are both a beautiful piece of artwork and an incredible engineered SQ upgrade to my system. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and he customized my 2 Advanced units because my rack was 1 inch to small.
Thanks again Spirit for starting this thread as I would not have known about Stacore with out it.
looks amazing!
congrats!
i was contact starcore for A platform for myself, but the weight of their devices is way to high for me to handle on my stands and under my turntable.
so, i was turning other ways, but always great to see how well they work on a different application around.
enjoy! a super impressive system you've got there!

Thank you Husk An honor to be a part of your gorgeous listening room!
One remark - the Husk's customization of Advanced platforms is not so much about the dimensions, but the frontal position of the control switches. Its is not visible as Husk decided to go super minimal visually, but all in all it's a very neat modification in my subjective view

Glad to do my little bit. Indeed Husk did ask my opinions, and I was glad to encourage him.
However I didn’t expect him to buy FOUR!
There are a fair number of data points coming in from various owners, we seem to all be benefitting in widespread ways.
Hoping my 3rd and 4th platforms are going to happen in the next 2-3 months.
Keep us posted Husk.

Now that all the details have been finalized, I can give some highlight on the coming rack. It will be a three tier double rack. There will be some slight differences compared to the below visuals. The rack will be all graphite black (same color as the platforms) and the two upper platforms will be both aligned with the controls on the front panel.
As my floor is a huge slab of concrete, I could envisage having both bottom platforms resting on the floor. I am not a tall guy (5.8 foot) and I still need to access the turntable that will be sitting on the top shelf. So any gain in height is welcome.
Jarek kindly requested that I don't communicate on the technology developed for the rack. I will therefore comply and won't spill the beans. More information once I get the rack delivered.
Many thanks to Jarek and Flyer for accommodating my wishes.

That is scary crazy LOL!
DCC, like you I’m planning to have multiple Stacores, one outside listening room to isolate the balanced power transformer, and up to eight btwn the spkrs to isolate my gear.
As things stand, my aim is to have the platforms sitting on the floor, not stacked on a rack as is your plan.
If you have any fears of your bottom two Stacores direct on the floor, don’t be, my tt w highly sensitive air linear tracking arm is isolated on a Stacore direct on the floor, not more than 3-4’ from each spkr/downfiring sub, and my analog isn’t skipping a beat.
I’ll consider getting a rack to house six Stacores such as you’re doing, but tbh funding nine Stacores in total is such a drain on my resources, I’m not sure I’ll be able to afford it.

Direct on the floor? I don’t care how good the sound can be man. I am not going to bend my knees and lower my end changing vinyl dropping needle. You should be more kind to your body Marc.
Kind regards,

Well Tang, my lp is actually 13” off the floor, but I get your point.
What is truly amazing is that analog should work at all sitting on a platform on the floor, way better than 3rd tier up in the air on a rack as was my previous setup.
And to allow my uber sensitive air arm to track like a bloodhound, playing on my springy 35x30 floor while maintaining cosmic levels of bass control, is the biggest advert for Stacore I can give.
