I have found that the RTP-4 power strips work excellent for mass dampening the components! I put one on top of my nettop and the other on top of my EMU0404 USB, it gave HUGE improvements in low-level detail and clarity!!

I finally tried the rubber feet for RTP4, the muddy coloration is horrible, it doesn't sound transparent. I like to put the RTP4 flat on the table instead, it gives the same sound signature as Magix but is brighter. When I moved from flat table into Magix I got more low-level detail while...

I have sold my A7 and moved my setup into a smaller area closer to the wall. My RTP4 power strips used to be resting on Feet of Silence and table, I added the built in rubber feet to the one that was resting on the table and heard very colored sound, I like the flat sounding table better even...

My girlfriend got an international job and said she will buy a house for us in the summer, I would get to decide the location, I would get my own cellar to "work" in. I will have random papers on a desk (with numbers to confuse her). Outside the room I will hang a "do not disturb" sign. Inside...

I drink Omega3 for breakfast. Time to try Omega2!

Which headphones should I buy to get more resolution than K1000? I want the most midrange resolution possible. Is electrostatic the way to go? Are they better than K1000? What about TakeT headphones?

I have found that the transport doesn't really need a fancy power cable because it only changes the flavor of jitter that is output from the transport. It doesn't increase the performance like power cables for other components do. There are no improvements in dynamics, blacker background, speed...

The multi-layer shielding makes the background quieter which gives true clarity in the music. It gives the same effect as when ERS Paper is separated 1+ cm from the cable. The blacks become blacker and the whites become whiter. The shielding of Statement is very good, but the wire gauge is too...

Last night I dreamt that I received a 2nd Judge power cable in the mail, then I went to the city and carried them around and did biceps curls with them while people were looking. What does my dream mean? I should purchase another Judge power cable? Where will I put it?

Here you see the difference in size between US and EU version. I think the EU version gives better sound than the US version because it's bigger.

When I added another RTP4 + Synapses2 I got a HUGE improvement in low-level detail. But when I removed two stock extension power strips from the path I didn't hear a difference, I was disappointed. These are $3 power strips, I thought I would get an improvement from removing them? I believe...
