The 1260 showed up yesterday. I applied some just to my speaker cable spades on the amplifier side- nowhere else at 3 PM. I let the system warm up for an hour. I didn’t expect to hear any changes but I did. I immediately heard a bigger soundstage. Voices and instruments seem to sound just a bit clearer too. I put on a Chorale piece that I have listened to many times. The walls of the Cathedral extended further out. Decays lasted longer. All this in the late afternoon with the a/c running in the background. I knew what to play next. A few weeks ago I was playing Living on the Fault Line. I remember playing the record in my purpose built listening room in the 1990’s and how the reverb or studio echo was almost annoyingly apparent but a few weeks ago I noticed the echo was just barely perceptible. My room in the 90’s was well isolated and quiet. My room today is above ground and subject to a higher noise floor- especially during the day. So I played this record again yesterday and the echo/reverb was more apparent. This is tangible evidence to me that 1260 did something. What blows me away is that I still have the other ends of the speaker wires to treat, all of the interconnects and power cords. I can’t imagine what it will sound like after all of that.
