Re: Revel Ultima Salon2 pictures
Those are my Salon 2s and my late buddy Orbis. Pic is from 2012. We said goodbye last month after he was found to have a large tumor on his spleen that had ruptured. I decided he deserved a quick passing and chose not to put him through surgery and chemo just to prolong his life for a few months.
He was a strong, athletic, happy-go-lucky dog who loved everyone and was never sick until his final illness. For some reason he absolutely loved The Who and always came into the room and hung out whenever they were on the stereo. My other dog and I really miss him.

Re: Revel Ultima Salon2 pictures
Thanks Mark!
The Star Sound platforms definitely make a positive difference. It's like they remove a layer of film from a window between you and the music. Attacks are faster and more detail emerges, without a shift in the tonal balance to a leaner sound. They also improved the soundstage, particularly the depth. I have them under the monos as well - they didn't have as dramatic an effect there, but still one that was noticeable and pleasing. Sometime this fall the pre and sources will be going on Star Sound's Rhythm platforms.
The latest tweak is the palm trees - I can't believe the beneficial effect they've had in reducing reflections off the windows behind the speakers! Now even tipped-up sources that were too strident to listen to at volume sound decent, and I no longer have occasional impure thoughts about sub-woofers as the bass seems to be landing better at the listening position. Less than a hundred bucks at Lowes for the trees and pots.
Awaiting receipt of the Uptone Audio Regen USB thingy sometime mid-month. At this point I'm down to small tweaks for a while, although eventually I'll take a serious plunge into computer audio.

Re: Revel Ultima Salon2 pictures
Did you choose the Star Sounds because they were less expensive, or did you compare them to some other options?

Re: Revel Ultima Salon2 pictures
Neither really, I went with them based upon the available reviewer/user consensus that they tended to speed up attacks and leading edges, while also providing more detail and better decays.
I'm also aware of the consensus viewpoint of Stillpoints being absolute champs of holographic imaging and soundstaging, and certainly those values are important ones as well. In my case, i.e. specific to my system and my priorities, I felt I was doing well enough there and went with the Star Sound platforms for their claimed virtues.

Re: Revel Ultima Salon2 pictures
FWIW, at the last 2 Newport THE Shows (the last two shows I have attended) virtually the only aftermarket loudspeaker base/feet used were Stillpoints, and they were quite a bit more prevalent in my experience in 2015 than 2014. They were even more popular as component footers.
