Hi all, After 2 weeks of burn-in for the new power supply, I just did an A/B test (tweaked SB2 vs non-tweaked SB2 both connected directly to my TacT TCS2).
I am happy to confirm "Old Guy"'s report! The sound of the tweaked SB2 is indeed clearer and more detailled, I could indeed say that the comparison of the lifted veil is quite appropriate. What about the magnitude of the change: this is indeed quite subjective, in my setup the impact is definitely noticeable but I would say less than what I experienced when I added an external power supply to my TacT TCS2 which shows that out of the box the SB2 is excellent! However, for me there is no way back. Note that an important difference as compared to "Old Guy"'s setup is that my tweaked SB2 is using the iclock as an external clock but it is not synchronised with any other elements yet (the iclock is a the moment only feeding the SB2). In his setup the TacT RCS 2.2x is also synchronised and he uses a different master clock. Also note that in my setup, I cannot distinguish the impact of the external PS and the external clock: an external PS can be installed alone but once the Word Clock inputs are installed they cannot be bypassed.
