Myrtle Blocks

[Willco]

Any users of the Ayre Mrytle Blocks, particularly on the Lumin and it's psu?

Any comparisons with the Still Points?

I have not tried "Ayre Myrtle Blocks", but really like Stillpoints under my Lumin. I firmly believe all digital sources benefit greatly from mechanical isolation.

I have ayre blocks under my speaker wires about 10 % of the time the other 90 % the cats have them great fun slamming wooden blocks around at 3 am.

Sold Stillpoints off after listening to Shun Mook diamond resonators - large tuned ebony blocks with a diamond in the tip. Take them along whenever I visit other audiophiles and so far have a 100% strike rate in impressing friends, if they have stillpoints, symposium, finite elemente, etc. One guy reported it better than his SRA, I have heard it sound better than SRA, and another guy with an SRA rack has bought them as well.

Can't use them under speakers though unless custom made.

I have a bunch of Myrtle blocks somewhere. Haven't used them for a while. I guess I should try my Ansuz Darkz under my Lampi. I have a set under my Mainz 8 power strip.

Let me know if you spot an used pair. I have emailed Shun Mook twice already in the past 2 weeks, but didn't get any reply.

Mike, Which Stillpoints are you using-- the Ultra mini or Ultra SS? And are using them under the Lumin PSU also?

 

[Steve]

DIY turners...The rare Tasmanian Tiger Myrtle and Tasmanian Blackwood Fiddleback are musically sort after choices. This is something on my DIY list.

It's almost impossible to get a set of Giants (the top of the line) used - ex-dem is the best bet. The next one down are also excellent, the Ultra. These do come up used, and there were two pairs a few months ago - cuntigh from WBF must have picked up one of them, I think. I assume the email you sent was to [email protected] - he is usually good at replying.

Let me know what email you are using to contact him, I will follow up separately to bring it to his notice.

Mike, Do you include the Lumin psu and your nas also as digital sources, or just the lumin player?

I tried a bunch of things under my Ayre CD player, but damn if I didn't come back to those myrtle blocks in the end. Just sounds more organic.
