PolyCrystal
isolators are unparalleled in their
ability to reduce the negative effects
of resonance-induced coloration.
They are ideally suited for use
under all audio and video electronics,
and power conditioning units.
In his review of PolyCrystal isolators
in the April 1998 issue of Stereophile,
Jonathan Scull wrote:
"No question: These are the sweetest
cones I’ve ever heard, hands down...
Sweet remains sweet. My jaws are
officially agape at the beauty of
it all...
"The midrange? Velvety, sultry,
textured like I’ve never
heard before, drawing me in with
that special harmonic rightness
that makes an audiophile kvell.
The juicy acoustic hit my resonance
point, and I fell directly into
the music. The midrange on [Madeleine
Peyroux’s] Dreamland is gushing
with texture and detail, I love
it...
"The clarity and richness of
sound is, I believe, due to the
absence of resonance-induced coloration.
Whatever, it was sexy and engaging—it
made me feel young again.” [Italicized
emphasis is the author’s.]
Since this review was written, Scull
has continued to use PolyCrystal
racks, amp stands, isolators, spikes
and cable towers to audition and
review equipment—as do many other
audio experts such as Chip Stern,
Wayne Donnelly and Larry Kay.
Scull’s experience with the PolyCrystal
Isolators is hardly unique; in the
April 2001 issue of The Stereo Times,
Marshall Nack reported that the
Isolators "sounded great:
a darker, fuller overall sound with
smoother and more prominent bass...
the result is tighter, more focused
images".
PolyCrystal customer Stefan Lindstrom
of Sweden agrees:
"I got my Isolators on Monday,
and what a positive experience!!!
I put them under my Krell KSA 50s
pointing down to my (Symposium)
Svelte shelf (I'm sorry, but I bought
it before I knew about PC! )---and
what a change in sound! EVERYTHING
gets better!!! I love them!!! Thanks
for a fantastic product."
Note that PolyCrystal isolators
are specifically designed for the
resonance characteristics of electronics
chassis, not for speakers; for speaker
spikes, see our "Speaker
Spikes" page.
