Acoustic Revive RST-38H

[TOGA]

Anyone here has tried it?

I was looking at these awhile back. Only 38mm high & you get 2 for the price of one if you shop around!

Acoustic Revive make interesting products. I like the RR-777.

A friend said one under power conditioner will make huge improvement.
I am not sure, it cost a lot of money.

I used to own an RST-38H board which I used under my Ayon CD-5s. It certainly improved the sound by adding a natural/organic feel to the sound & a touch of warmth, yet resolution and air were excellent. And the board looks beautiful. Obviously good isolation makes more of a difference under a front end component, but YMMV. Personally I plan to use a set of 4 Wave Kinetics A10-U8 feet under my future power conditioner.

Toga....look at model TB-38H. It is thicker & designed for power conditioners in mind.

That's true, though it's size suggests it was designed with power distributors in mind such as the RTP-6 Ultimate, so it might be restrictive. The top of that tree is Walker Audio's custom stand & Valid Points imho

Curious how these would perform under loudspeakers. These could probably fit under my Grands with the spikes remaining inserted in QX7 isolators on top of these boards...

David....we have so much quartz laying about in the Golden Triangle....how hard would it be to fashion one of these.... Crush 'em up & then take a bucket to the local laundry mat in the middle of the night to spin for a bit. No birch here, but we have plenty of beautiful Tasmanian Tigerwood...

Steve, all Acoustic Revive products seem to imbue a similarly natural/organic & soft/warm sound, whilst improving resolution. That has been my experience having owned numerous AR products.

As for producing a knock off, aren't Acoustic Revive quartz crystals like cuban cigars? (ie rolled in the thighs of a beautiful women?)

TB38H is too small for my Accuphase, footprint is 30x36 cm. that would make an RST a mandatory. TB is way too small, but I will consider it for RSA Maxim. Pity I had two HRS s1 in correct load range for pCond. But I traded them for new amplifier.

Have you considered an RAF-48H floating board by Acoustic Revive or are you exclusively looking for quartz? The size would be sufficient at 48.8cm Wide x 39.7 cm Deep. They are kinda expensive, however.
