Interesting idea! I have some I can try later, they usually have to have a latch that is grounded though
It will be a night and day difference, the highs will be higher and the lows will be lower

For my personal taste it just feels strange to fiddle with such a hyper expensive piece of gear. I expect the builder to have considered all of this. Maybe I am naive or just lazy to try out…

Sorry I am mocking you. Go ahead and try, and please report back
However, I am also slightly discontent that many people report that they get better sq from the speaker tabs. I don’t want to go that route because of discomfort, I want the best sound to come out of the front socket, what it is there for. I also use speakers.
If I ever bought a Porsche, which I never will because I ride my bike and use carsharing, I would also not want to change screws or pneus first before I get to 100%. At this premium price range I would expect the best right from the beginning. My 2c.
BTW AIC sounds super sublime
try the speaker taps!!!It will be a night and day difference, the highs will be higher and the lows will be lower

No argument here, all good. The idea just makes me nervous that such a premium product can be improved by further tweaking it. But I guess that is part of the hobby to search for these tweaks.I mean, I think that comparison is fundamentaly flawed. A car has to appeal to a mass audience and meet all sorts of esoteric regulation. A modified one just has to appeal to you. Stuff like changing to smaller diamater wheels, ditching cup 2 tires cause you do indeed drive in the rain, or swapping out the emissions based gear ratios of a cayman gt4 for shorter ones are all super sensible changes for lots of people that Porsche couldn't make them selves for one reason or another.
Also, just tbh, the fact that rear taps do sound pretty significantly better than the front out shows that there is at least one oversight. I'm asking if someone else has tried because I don't want to bother with the ordering process if someone goes "oh, that won't fit". Honestly, do I expect a difference? Not realy, no. But it like $6 shipped and I'm this deep into the hobby cause I like playing with gear
thanks will do. I'll use the Susvara on the HP out for a bit to get to know the sound and then later on try speaker outs to compare.I look forward to your impressions! Also, make sure you get a speaker tap adaptor
Please share impressions of speaker tap vs headphone, lots of people are huge fans of the taps it seems, for too many reasons to list, I have yet still explored that path!
I am also listening mainly with speakers, with Susvara remaining more often than not in the box.
I'm still AB-ing and haven't fully decided which one I prefer. The speaker taps definitely have more space, sizzle and sparkle. But sometimes it can get a tad fatiguing and in that case the HP out is more behaved and makes for a slightly easier listening session. But, and this is the reason I'm still experimenting, it's very much tube dependent. I have the Teslas, GR73s and a Mullard on the way and each tube synergizes differently with the two outputs. Once I've settled on my preferred tube/output combo I'll update here.
Are you the same TDX on another forum discussing chairs?
