Thanks Lak. Initial listening to familiar tracks indicates nice gains in low level details, smoothness, stage depth, imaging, and improved texture. Just more musical and less electronic or recorded. After 4 hours the gains are very obvious and the cord still needs to settle in more. The improved separation of instruments and vocal performers is something that struck me on several occasions this evening. I am also hearing and experiencing the fullness of mid and deep bass that I hoped for. In my rig this little mod seems to be just the ticket.
The bones of the unit are great, but these units can be improved nicely with a little effort. If the builder took the extra time and cost I did, then these would go up in price! Here are the parts....
