READ MY POSTS. I never said the stock SB power supply was adequate. I bought a Bolder Elpac and it is much better. The TP has 3 advanced PS's and is probably one of the reasons it sounds so good. I didn't answer your question because it was irrelevent to our discussion. My ears tell me the the TP is far superior to the SB with Bolder elpac (as good as that is) Why does that offend you so? My reading of Wayne's posts indicate he thinks the TP sounds better than all his SB iterations EXCEPT with the Ultimate PS with his power cords and connectors and Bybees. That costs around 2,300.00 to 2,400.00. However, it is obvious he hasn't done a serious review. BY HIS OWN ADMSSION HE HASN'T EVEN LISTENED TO THE TP ON THE SAME SYSTEM AS HIS MODDED SB! He has hardly listened to the TP because he was busy getting ready for RMAF. He also runs his SB on earlier firmware which he claims sounds better. A true AB would have to be done on the same firmware if one believes his contention that 6.5 sounds "inferior" to earlier firmwares. So Waynes opinions are ful of logical inconsistencies. One has to git rid of all variables in order to do a fair comparison. Wayne says that the modded SB with his earlier PS (better than his modded elpac DOESN't sound as good as a stock TP. So your own guru disagrees with you you. Are you not folowing your own recommendations and keeping up with the the Audio circle posts? Or are you purposely obfuscating? And, no, I wouldn't be ecstatic if ETM gave a rave to the TP. I couldn't care less. It doesn't matter to me what other people think, I only have to please my ears, not other's. I have no emotional investment in the TP or the SB. If I found something that sounded better I would buy it and sell the TP in a NY minute. I didn't even know about SD until 2 months ago. -- tomjtx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomjtx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29124 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
