Pure Note Epsilon cable directionality.

I have almost 200 hours on my PN epsilons and I thought I would reverse the direction (the manual says that it may make a difference). I only listened for an hour or so but there's definately more presence/authority with the cables reversed. I don't know if it's good or bad but I'd like to give the cables another 50 hours of burn-in before I do any real listening.
Has anyone else done or experience this?

Thanks.

I just had a chance to audition these amazing IC and was extremly surprised how good they were. I mean for the money, these were at least 95% of the Valhalla IC, great speed, excellent PRAT and very detailed. What a great product. Back to your question, when you reversed them, unless you heard it for the better immediately, then I would just go back to normal set-up. Bought 3 pairs.
Considering
3 pairs of Pure Note Reference Epsilon is $1,500.00
3 pairs of Valhalla is $9,900.00

you figure it out!

Proy,
I also have 3 pairs and I only reversed the pair between my dac and pre. I did hear it immediately. A fuller sound with more authority and slam. I'm going to give the cables another 50 hrs or so burn-in before I do it again. Maybe I should e-mail Tom and see what he thinks.
Needless to say, they're GREAT cables. Cables are very system dependant, but I've heard a few that costs much more that didn't come close to the epsilons.

Thanks.

Jose21,
I think you should email Tom to see what he says, then share that information with us on this thread.
Thanks...
