Tree/Branch Stands - audio quality comparison with traditional stands? - MountainGuy - 11-Mar-2016 The Branch has been renamed as Tree. It is apparently now widely available in the USA in terms of being orderable. The Tree is 26 inches tall. I have a speaker stand that is 26 inches tall - but of course not as nice looking and integrated as the Tree stand. Question: Has any owner of the Tree also put your Phantoms at 26 (or close) tall stands. And have swapping over to the official stands made any difference in the audio? And if yes, what are the differences? Thanks! RE: Tree/Branch Stands - audio quality comparison with traditional stands? - wcallen - 12-Mar-2016 im using $50 a pair stands bought on amazon, and I am happy as clam. (No point to waste more money on not-branch stand right?) RE: Tree/Branch Stands - audio quality comparison with traditional stands? - MountainGuy - 12-Mar-2016 The branch does look fabulous to me..... But am wondering about impact on sound quality if any. It does provide additional heat dispersion so that the Phantom can run at maximum for longer periods. Of course, I don't need tha function. Also, it does LOCK the speaker down so that it won't fall of the stand. RE: Tree/Branch Stands - audio quality comparison with traditional stands? - Johnnydev - 12-Mar-2016 The branch is great to see and he is great in sound RE: Tree/Branch Stands - audio quality comparison with traditional stands? - jonstatt - 12-Mar-2016 (12-Mar-2016, 02:15)wcallen Wrote: im using $50 a pair stands bought on amazon, and I am happy as clam. (No point to waste more money on not-branch stand right?)There are some that insist the branch/tree improves the sound. Even if identical height there will be differences based on the mass of the stand in particular. I don't think the "attachment" to the stand makes much of a difference (other than possibly as a heatsink) as the connection is just at one point and fundamentally it is the weight on the stand the bonds the two. I haven't been able to compare with one stand or another, but there are other reports that insist there are improvements.......make of that what you will RE: Tree/Branch Stands - audio quality comparison with traditional stands? - wcallen - 12-Mar-2016 (12-Mar-2016, 11:29)jonstatt Wrote:Branch is not out on US market now, so that is why I am settling with some off brand stands right now(12-Mar-2016, 02:15)wcallen Wrote: im using $50 a pair stands bought on amazon, and I am happy as clam.

Dealer told me they are available. RE: Tree/Branch Stands - audio quality comparison with traditional stands? - IanG-UK - 12-Mar-2016 Mainly aesthetics in my view. Difficult to get a stand which matches the Phantom bacause of its oval footprint. And a stand which conceals the cabling. Devialet claim heatsink advantages too, though I would have thought these minimal. Very expensive for what it is but beautifully made. RE: Tree/Branch Stands - audio quality comparison with traditional stands? - em0 - 12-Mar-2016 Just ordered the "Tree" directly from Devialet. Expected to ship tomorrow (March 13th). Will post my experience with them against the current setup (sitting atop a TV stand - far from ideal). RE: Tree/Branch Stands - audio quality comparison with traditional stands? - MountainGuy - 12-Mar-2016 Yes, as noted, Branch/Tree is available for USA ordering now. So is extended warranty. I have made two inquiries about their extended warranty and will report back. |
