I'm currently auditioning the Matrix with Matrix powercord. Both are well broken-in I believe. It's only been in my system 1 night, but it's so impressive that I'm compelled to post my comments: I don't want to restate the review, but simply want to reiterate that this is a wonderful product. The highs, lows, mids, everything just sounds better. My wife and I stayed up pretty late last night enjoying it. The Matrix is simply amazing! Highly recommended! I'll be buying one when the audition is up!
Review: Audio Magic Matrix AC filter
Category: Accessories
Although I respond positively to reviews with all the typical audio adjectival lingo, they do not, for a minute, give me any idea what the sound is like. The review, for me, just serves as (sometimes) impetus to "check it out." I have owned the Audio Magic Steath for 8 months and have been more than satisfied with it's presence in my system. Now, why did I upgrade to the new Audio Magic Matrix?--it was there. Look, I'm just a bit nuts with this stuff, but I, after talking to a few people who owned the Matrix, plus Jerry, over at Audio Magic, figured, what do I have to lose? As you guys might know, from earlier posts, I went through the customary, very long, breakin process with a high current/amperage pulling appliance with my Matrix. (Zaikes, be gentle with me.) Two weeks, running 24 hours per... I have been in sonic heaven for the past week. Thought I would have to give it more time to give you the scoop. But a major snow storm, stuck in the house seated by a roaring fire, gave me a chance to do some serious listening. This baby does everything better than the Stealth. We're talking (I know, I know-this is not a measurable thing, but just to give you a feeling) 25-30 percent better. Stealth on Steroids is the best way I can put it. Vocals, bass, SOUNDSTAGE are incredible. I realize soundstage doesn't owe anything to live music, but in the kingdom of home stereo, it does reign supreme. The Matrix opens the music up wide and deep like I've never heard before. This review is based on having my cdp, and amp plugged into the Matrix. I then, unplugged my cdp, put in on a dedicated line with a Stealth Mini Digital, and I'm on another sonic plane. I just don't have the writing finesse, to explain what I'm hearing. But if this review does anything to give you the impetus to give it a listen, you'll know what I'm talking about, once you hear this baby. I am a tough sell, and the Matrix delivers--in spades. Yes, this baby is costly. But with my Lat International power cords (and one of Ernie's home brews) I'm grooving. From what I've read, Elrods and the like will raise me to another level..Maybe, but I can't justify the expense. Why?--because I can't afford Elrods. If I could, I'd fine the justification. A thick wallet, has always helped me, with that. Matrix too much? The Stealth will do you fine. peace, warren
