HI
I’m the importer for ATC to the US. Craig that tri wire panel isn’t my favorite either, but many users of ours in the past have requested bi wire and tri wire connections. It could be said that in 99% of the cases, amplifiers and cables lend a much bigger difference than the wiring panel itself. The associated gear in the chain would normally be the place to look for improvements. However, if you have settled on all the associated gear, changing a connector in the signal path could make a difference. Nearly all items in the physical and electrical signal chain affect sonics in some way. I have no doubt you heard a difference as careful listening can reveal differences between banana plugs and bare wire. For many investigating better cables, better preamplifiers, amplifiers or for the biggest difference, by switching to active versions, would yield a larger difference than the connector panel.
Happy Listening
Brad,
