I've spent some additional time doing critical listening with the latest mods. The liveliness and the level of detail is now unprecedented. For example, Dave Liebman's "Your Lady" (from his phenomenal album "Drum Ode", ECM, 1975) came to life in an amazingly musical way. I've been intimately familiar with this tune since 1978, I thought I knew it inside-out, but boy was I in for a surprise last night when I gave it a spin:) So many never before heard important instrumental details, especially in the battery of sundry percussion. Those tiny, barely audible little scratches are now prominently present in the mix, they are positioned with laser sharp precision in the soundstage, and are layered in depth (many of them are obviously positioned a few feet behind some other instruments, the ones who are more forward positioned). These quiet sounds receding into the background are surprisingly not getting smothered or covered by the louder, more aggressive sounds. As I kept switching to different CDs etc., I've noticed how my experience was going beyond the vinyl-like listening experience and into the master tape listening experience. The sound is now so alive, so muscular, so sturdy, that it gets overwhelmingly emotional. Each and every recording/mixing session now has a unique sonic signature of its own. I'm hesitant to attribute this improvement solely to the latest TT3.0 mods, because the mods coincided, in my case, with the upgrade to the power cable -- I've just installed a new Shunyata power cable, which was a revelation. That, plus the much maligned attenuation of the EMI and RF interferences, seemed to have cleared up so much noise, that the music now shines through. Thanks again to all who contributed, and a happy and prosperous new year to all! -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
