bobo2006, Welcome to the new Golden Age of audio. In the first one we had a lot of obvious stuff like better amps and speakers going on. In this one things are a lot more ephemeral, to the point it is hard to say or even sometimes understand what is going on.
In this one you can literally take all your old stuff and make it sound so much better than anyone back then could even dream of, and all by doing things hardly anyone back then could even imagine. Spring isolation platforms, little doo-dads called HFT, ECT and PHT, all kinds of wire and electric field control products, on and on.
Who ever would have dreamed you could significantly improve the sound by wiping a microscopic amount of goo around on a spade lug? Improve detail and presence with a tiny strip of tape? It is just nuts what we can do today, to the point Frank can sit in his trailer and hear music the envy of many cost no object systems and rooms.
You won’t be reading much about this in Stereophile. We are all over it here though! Welcome!
