Star Sound Tech Sistrum Apprentice: Anyone use the 2.3" platform (SA-102-3)?

[highstream]

Everything I've found in reviews and forum discussions is about the 3.3" model, SA-103-3, so I'm wondering if there are any current or former 102-3 owners? I ask because with a Lampi tube dac and Supratek preamp (two pieces) the 3.3" total model leaves only an inch at most above the taller tubes to the shelf above. The 2.3" model is presented as the step up from the shortest model and also as a shelf topper, so I'm wondering what one might expect from it. http://starsoundtechnologies.com/SistrumApprentice.php. Thanks,

If it's not too late. I have some experience with Star Sound Technologies, I use their Audio Points, Apprentice and Sound Works platforms and a Rhythm rack. I also consulted a lot with the SST owner.
The larger the audio points are used the better, e.g. 2 inch ones are better than 1.5, and 1" is better than 0.5". However if you can only use smaller audio points, use them by all means, it's better than to live without Star Sound Technologies at all as SST are amazing at what they do and are a bargain.
