MPod stand for Magico M3's

I tried Stlllpoints under my speakers and I thought it sounded good. I removed them a month later and it sounded better. It is typical in this hobby that change sounds good because it is different. Sometimes it doesn't hold up. In my case Stillpoints were a false illusion.

I've sat is demo's with MF. After hearing him pontificate over mediocre sound I don't have much faith in what he writes.

I had to sit through his “analog ripping” listening session at a show once and watched him marvel himself and the dreadful sonic outcome.
I couldn’t believe my ears, so yes, not much confidence in anything he says these days…

Well, there are a lots of self-proclaimed gurus no-one cares about.

Hence, still value Fremer's view above yours any day. He at least gets paid money for his opinions. Doubt that is the case with you.

You're correct, I was paid not paid to write I was paid to manage a billion dollar business. I don't offer purchasing advice.

Being paid does not make MF competent. Remember 50% of all Doctors/Lawyers graduated in the bottom half of their class.

If you need help in making your purchasing decisions, you may need different hobby.

I take it your one of MF's vinyl ocelots.

Excellent post with which I agree 100%.

Maybe you should stick to your business then or go to school to see where you end up on that scale.

LOL at the twists and turns of this thread.

Audiophilia is not a competitive sport.

Audiophilia is not a zero sum game.

Audiophilia may be a incurable disease. Disclaimer: I'm a doctor but I was in the top half of my class.

I hope to try the MPODs on my S7's.

The next round of Kool-Aid is on me. :)

Like your sense of humor, splendid [emoji1].

And you are absolutely right: it is a bit silly to try to determine which tune sounds best in someone else's ear or which ice cream tastes best in somebody else's mouth.

I have a post graduate degree and did just fine. Now that I have retired I have no plans on working towards a Phd. Still, thanks for the encouragement.

Just to be clear, I am not disparaging lawyers or doctors. I was indicating that "positions" or "jobs" or writers for that matter do not automatically earn respect because of their title.
 
I'm neutral on this MPODs pricing. As someone who's seen what's inside MPODs in person, I feel if you can afford what Magico is asking for to get that last 1-2%, why not. But on the other hand, a set of MPODs cost 60% of S1 mk2. What's inside S1 mk2 gotta be worth more than 2-3 times, at least, than what's inside MPODs. Having said that, I still can't get over how good the bass was in Magico room, with or without the Q sub. Very curious to know how much of it is due to the MPODs (too bad Alon didn't want to demo that).

Again, the standard spikes aren't too shabby either. It looks to have the same approach as MPODs (I see copper ring in the middle, supposedly to dissipate energy) but just on a much smaller scale. BTW, the grenade pin is the last to come off in MPOD installation. Only after pin is off, MPOD starts to work its magic.

So very true.

And so very funny.

I had 20 Ultra 5s in my system at one time a couple of years ago. I now have zero.
 
I experimented with Ultra SS's under pre-amp and streamer. There were noticeable effects on the sound, but not all to my liking. I removed them a month later. I guessed it also depends on the components and the platforms they sit on.

Atta boy. You want me to pat your head now?

Sorry, I already have a dog.
