In that thread I posted, Phil Leigh did note a great improvement in
replacing a power supply for his TACT. But sorry, Rick, I can't be much
help. I'm in the ABX, blind testing camp for detecting differences. I
know from my own work of 30+ years that self insight is not nearly as
good as people might like to believe and "demand" effects in
experiments are strong. 

My only advice is to plug in your touch, attach it to a favorite DAC
should you have one, and enjoy the music. If you have lots of extra $$$
to spend, start with speakers. At some point the discussion (which I
enjoy, even the posters I very much disagree with) becomes "how many
angels can dance on the head of a pin".  A quote I recently saw fits
the back and forth controversy on all this stuff very well:

That people so often believe themselves to be right is no proof that
they are. The only difference between the Church of Rome and the Church
of England is that the former is infallible, while the latter is never
wrong. - Benjamin Franklin
