Hi, new member here. Just bought new system from Criterion Audio, Cambridge UK.
Was looking for great looking system first, then great sounding one!
Melco N1A (hidden in cupboard), Devialet 250 and possibly the prettiest floor standing loudspeakers I have seen ( at a "reasonable"price) Albedo Aptica. Tellebrium Q Black speaker and usb cable. AND 6 small Stillpoints under the Devialet I had left over from a previous system ( I know they should go under the speakers firstly, but Albedo's stand on a metal plate with spikes through carpet).
Without Stillpoints sound so so (best described as "dry" and no "spirit") with Stillpoints just amazing. Even as I put the Devialet onto the Stillpoints the sound came alive. An expensive tweak (£600 ish - though 3 might do the trick), but looking at the cost of some of these systems a very inexpensive tweak!
