We have been awaiting a long time for that review to happen. Heavy stuff is never easy , for both: moving around as well as for reviewing. Finally STACORE’s most Advanced anti-vibration platform, more of that – in its latest version, has been published. Enjoy reading, as this is not just another platform. It might be the last platform you might need or want to move, and that is not certainly due to its weight.
Dawid is often quoted by us here not just because I like the way he writes. Or do his pictures. Mostly it is because his methodical approach to subject is always paying back and bringing complete information about, whatever the product. This is simply adorable consistency.
intro:
” Stacore Advanced is a passive pneumatic platform designed to tame vibrations in wide-bandwidth spectrum. It measures (LxWxH) 80x480x140mm, weighs spine breaking 94 kilograms in total and can handle loads up to 65 kilograms. No wonder the cargo was very difficult to carry, though in order to be efficient it has to be this heavy and there’s no other way around it. Jarek explained that Newton’s Third Law related mass damping is one of key parts in his grand master plan. I was also told that solutions similar to his design yet lighter fall short above 200 Hz, whereas his goes far higher, up to several kHz. Not because of heavy weight alone, though.”
sound description:
“… Stacore Advanced introduced changes similar to recently reviewed GigaWatt PC-2 EVO+ power conditioner, namely the quite extensive sorting service. When this air filled platform was on the job, the usual suspects were addressed; background grain, smoothness, informational tissue, on-stage air amount, expansiveness, downstairs control etc. The improvement was on these counts exactly minus the morphing act, any obvious meta change wasn’t a part of the show. My Golden Gate sounded as gutsy as per usual and the same story was with i.e. its downstairs presence. It short, it didn’t became anything it wasn’t in the first place. But the most beneficial difference was in this machine’s expanded boundaries…”
summary:
“… Stacore Advanced turned out to be beneficial for both my daily drivers. Their potential amplified yet not changed counts as one of the major upshots undoubtedly. Usually in order to gain something, at least a small sacrifice has to be made somewhere, yet with Stacore Advanced this was not the case, not in the slightest. Sound wise this review’s hero simply elevated the experience audibly with no trade-offs, it showcased more clearly what my hardware is capable of, how far it can go. To invoke the car analogy again, Stacore Advanced not only delivered me on time to the very same destination place in comfier, smoother and more fuel happy ride than usually, but the view outside was also far more clear and vivid, hence nicer. No wonder, instead of a regular five-door hatchback I drove in its cabrio sibling with no roof above me all the time…”
