I don't think the Bright star is available anymore, but the Townsend is still for sale according to their web site, but I have not seen any retailers selling these in years.

Something was bugging me with the sound, so I removed the Still points.

Sounded better - more natural. the music was better integrated as the still points seemed to enhance a certain part of the lower midrange frequency.

enjoying the system sand stillpoints ATM.

Best judge of sound are our own ears. I have experienced the same effect with stillpoints under a phono preamp. Sucked the air out of the presentation.

Yes, that is a better description.

Trouble is I was sure it sounded better when I first put them under the GAT. I think, like a lot of us I was only concentrating on part of the sonic picture ( what they did well) and not the whole musical picture.

Only after living for a period of time and then swapping back is it more obvious which sounds better.

Wise words, I've often found that improvements have to be good over time...gotta be able to live with it for the long haul.
