    Definitely let us know how things work out. For me, going from Wi-Fi only to Ethernet only brought about noteworthy improvements.

    Core Power Technologies Equi=Core 300 cable/conditioner, are there any Head-Fi users?

    The [5 amp, 600 watt] EQUI=CORE 600 is here! A 40-hour break-in period is advised. But already, about 8-10 hours in, I am hearing definite improvements in transparency, resolution, perception of openness, air and dimensionality [i.e. practically everything]. Dynamics, both macro- and micro-...

    Focal Clear headphones

    @headstef makes a good point. I have the Neumann NDH-30 [$649 USD MSRP], too, with Fog City Audio Mogami re-cable. . . . and as a matter of taste I must admit that I prefer the superior openness, imaging and "studio" neutrality of the Neumann. By comparison, the Clear OG [$990 USD MSRP]--as good...

    Core Power Technologies Equi=Core 300 cable/conditioner, are there any Head-Fi users?

    The EQUI=CORE 600 is due to arrive tomorrow. Am looking forward to swapping out the PowerVar and Tripplite conditioners I currently have in place and (hopefully) hearing an improvement with the advent of the Core Power device.

    Focal Clear headphones

    Just hooked up the Clear OG [w/NeoTech UPOCC hybrid hpc and Oratory 1990 EQ. They sound excellent: "clear", dynamic, tonally brilliant and balanced--especially with the Violectric V222 [this amp, like no other I have tried so far, really wakes up the Clear]. Bass response isn't too shabby...

    The Pangea Audio Premier SE Ethernet cables arrived this morning. I ran one of the cables from power adapter 2 [w/iFi LAN filter] to computer, listened, then ran the other cable from modem to router [w/iFi LAN filter] and listened again. There was a marginal uptick in clarity after replacing...

    Focal Clear headphones

    I, too, have owned both and ultimately opted for the [overall frequency balance. neutrality and treble extension/"airiness" of the] OG. The MG, to my ears, sounded a bit dark, with more emphasis in the midrange. However, the MG's bass extension and bass definition bettered those of the OG IMHO...
