Is revealing always good?
Revealing systems which are not forward sounding can and do sound very good on poorer recordings.If one has a bright and forward biased system, watch out, at louder volumes can and will make one run from the room.But on the otherhand, even this br... 
Top resistors
Update on Pathaudio and Duelund resistors.Somehow, i blew 1 of the Path resistors and dug out my old Duelunds to replace 1 side for the tweeter network.Same values.... now boy it was that different.The Duelund are louder at the same volume, very c...

Esoteric G-02 clock - your thoughts

Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
Youre right, i used a non audiophile recording to tweak, massive improvement in there, just more detailed, dimensionl and impactful.Listening with a audiophile recording fter left is a little too pure sounding or smooth. 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
I especially find that the power chip give the best overall improvement. Very powerful sounding and doest lean out certain frequencies.Capacitor, fuse , transformer and ic chips add overall clarity but they towards a drier or leaner sound.As for t...
