I am repeating what I've heard from Roger Paul as an explanation for the quite wide, deep, and high sound stage I hear with his X-10 MkIII amp used with his X-10 line stage.
Apparently, every amplification stage passes some frequencies through faster than others. This means that even the best speakers are asked to reproduce all music with out of phase frequencies. Somehow he can sense this happening and assure that all frequencies pass at the same time.
The results are a sound stage with great realism, clear sense of room boundaries, player noises, clear decay of notes, and presence of performers. I suspect that my BMC Arcadia front and back firing speaker can reproduce all frequencies as they were recorded.
The H-Cat components, speakers, HFC cables, Archiving Vinyl music server, and Tripoint Troy Signature all contribute to what thrills me on every album.
