Okay, I had the opportunity to reinstall the OMC PS and do a comparison. First, let me say that the Channel Island VDC-9.0 is NOT causing any issues. I wouldn't want potential buyers of the CI product to be discouraged. The same noise what we used to call tape hiss was still just as apparent, as was the low level frequency air movement issue. So whats the problem with ME? The thing is, I was really doing some serious evaluating of the new installation of the CI power supply scrutinizing looking for any perceived differences. That when I noticed the aforementioned issues. I didnt remember hearing those things before with the OMC PS, so I did what any obsessive personality would do I jumped to conclusions.
That said (let me reiterate, the CI unit works just fine with the Duet), how does the addition of the aftermarket PS make the Duet sound? Cant tell. Without actually doing an immediate A/B comparison, my ears just arent that golden. Some people claim that they can hear an immediate improvement. For certain, the addition of the CI unit did not hinder the sound in any way it may have helped (I just cant say for certain). However, the new CI unit certainly looks impressive Im utilizing a nice Tara Labs PC and super-duper power umbilical .cool stuff, no doubt. And there is always the placebo factor- by golly, I think I actually do hear an improvement in the bass region. In reality, thats about as much as any audiophile can realistically expect from most tweaks!!!!
