This is on of the most underated tweaks in audio , but luckely it very easy to test. I use a vertex aq super kinablau platform under my soruce and its a cornerstone in my system. When i have audio frinds over , i alwasy demostrad the effect it has on the transporter becaue you can lift it up , and down again. The improvment is real. -- harmonic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ harmonic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6879 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39093 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
