I recently added a CPT-150 to power the TRL DUDE preamp. It made a tremendous difference in sound over the TRL cord I used previously and the WyWires Juice II cord before that. The TRL cord adds some organic sound and a little more grunt to the bass than the Juice II. The CPT-150 however, caused a quantum leap in the sound to my system. On every CD and record I play now, there is a distinct improvement in all areas of sound. The bass is now outrageously good in all ways--deeper, more dynamic, detailed, and the rest of the range is equal to the bass. EVERYTHING sounds so real and more beautiful at the same time. My speakers are VMPS RM40 BCSE and are very detailed, dynamic, and now organic with rich overtones. It is very hard to go to bed at night.
I must add, Bob Smith at TDSS put in his Level 3 upgrades into my Nuforce Ref 9 SE V3 monos about 2 months ago, and I've added 5 SR Blue fuses to my Modwright 5400, Whest 3.0 RDT SE phono, and Ref 9s. The TDSS mod made a great difference in sound also, along with the Blue fuses making a nice improvement. I think the biggest change for the better came with the CPT-150 used with the DUDE. I already have a CPT-300 powering all my front end stuff with the assistance of a Synergistic Research QLS-6 power strip. Part of this last improvement has to be the amps breaking in finally from Bob's upgrades.
