@t_ramey  and others, what loudspeaker cables did the Matrix LS cables replace? I’m trying to judge just how good they. Thanks.

@klh007  and @lak , thanks for the heads up on Core Power Technology. They look well made but the ratings are a bit low. Here in the U.K. there is an industrial transformer manufacturer who makes balanced power supplies, cost for example about £30...

@yoby , @lancelock thanks for for your comments, sounds like I need to try a Matrix to compare.I also find the NCF connectors to make a difference and I also have one NCF Booster which also makes an improvement.

Matt, thank you for your review of MP vs Baetis. I look forward to hearing about the comparison with the SMG in due course, I suspect much tougher opposition. It’s a pity fidata doesn’t have representation in USA at present because it’s a fine dev...

Absolutely agree about power chords making a big difference. The best by far that we have experienced are Sablon Reserva power cables with Furutech NCF plugs both ends. Hard wiring is even better.  Furutech NCF Boosters also make a positive contri...
