Detached
... I was already very satisfied with the performance and interplay of my electronics. I was able to carefully select and coordinate the individual components/cables over a longer period of time through extensive testing and comparisons (sometimes to the suffering of my dealer). In the last year, I experimented a lot with a wide variety of connection/decoupling options for the components, combining many materials (including ceramic, hard metal, silicone, various wood and non-ferrous metals,...) and quickly realized that there was still a lot to be achieved as a result. However, the overall sound changes never completely satisfied me.
That's how I came across the Subbase Audio site. The descriptions of the physical effects of the device and loudspeaker bases quickly appealed to me and prompted me to call Mr. Schlipper and seek unconditional advice. Thank you at this point for the very, very nice and detailed advice as well as for the opportunity to try out the bases at home in peace and quiet. To make a long story short, the Composant S and the écho LS really impressed me and have become an integral part of it. Connecting the devices/loudspeakers with the Subbase ebony feet directly to the bases is absolutely recommended. I am most impressed by the detached sound and the precise room image. The music stands/floats freely in the room; the finest spatial information and reverberation effects are there or better perceptible. When picking up the bases, Mr. Schlipper gave me a few Hifine cylinders to test. Despite initial skepticism, these too have a firm place with me. Based on a drawing of my auditorium, Mr. Schlipper then recommended the number and selection of Hifine products. I think everyone should try this type of product for themselves. My experiences are: The music sounds more lively and natural, the room continues to open and you become more emotionally involved in the music. I am very happy to have met Mr. Schlipper and his expert advice and am looking forward to further great developments from Subbase Audio.
