How does a Transport effect sound?
Jon2020I understand Jon. That is why Empirical Audio has a 30 trial. If you hear an improvement "great", if not then return it. Did you try it yourself?

jon2020From what I understand the transport is most in-need of the SM, not the dac.

-1 jon2020I have a good transport and dac combo. The SM improves quite a bit. Simaudio 260d and Lyngdorf 2170. It may not be as good as a Esoteric or PS Audio $$$$$, but I find it hard to believe that what I have is not "good"

@ozzy As we all have different systems, (regarding your post about it degrading your sound) the Synchro-Mesh I bought a few weeks has made a huge improvement in my system. I would not want to listen to my digital playback without one now. Also, St... 
Tekton Impact Monitors
@travbrow I understand some believe in breakin and some don’t...thats another thread debate. However in my experience those speakers needed at least 150 hours. Your speakers list at $7000 and the IM’s list at $2000. Just sayinI am also not saying ...

@travbrow Thanks for your review. I would hope a $7000 (EP 4.7) speaker with a deeper freq range would beat a $2000 stand mount in dynamics and higher levels.Curious, how many hours did you have on the IM's?

New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Put some paste on the bare wire ends of my Western Electric 10 gauge speaker cable, the power cable that feeds to my powerdac and 3 High Fidelity Cable MC-05s. What I notice immediately was lower noise floor, soundstage much wider and deeper. Not ... 
Small room electrostat/ planar speaker?
I bet the ET LFT-16a Planar Magnetic Hybrid Book Self Loudspeaker with a sub, would sound killer. 
Looking at sub $200 power cables.
+1 @corepowertech I really like the Super Stroke Cable from CPT. Nice extension top to bottom. detailed sound without being harsh. Better than the Audience SEi Power Cord I compared. 
Small room electrostat/ planar speaker?
@yyzsantabarbara I listen at 55-65db range. One of the reason I got the ET's and not the Maggies. 
Small room electrostat/ planar speaker?
@yyzsantabarbara Well the ET’s in my experience sounded best with about 3 feet or more behind back of the panel. They do not need an overly dead sounding room to sound good in my experience. Even though they don’t have a very wide horizontal dispe... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
I found the Reveal RCA interconnect to be a cable that is on the warmer side of neutral, very musical and natural sounding. I wonder if the gold plated connectors have anything to do with that? The CT1 Enhanced RCA was more neutral in its presenta...

@maxima95 I bought those connectors from Audio Archon. Give Mike a call.
