You seem to have so many challenges with your setup - slowing and smearing of sound etc. At what point do you call it a day and start replacing the main components that make up your system? After all, six E-Mats, contact paste, Bryston Isolation transformers and fuses etc. is running quickly into many thousands of dollars?
At what point do you say something like,”I am frustrated that even with countless thousands spent on band-aids, the basic system still needs improvement. Something just isn’t right with my main components, as no high end high fidelity components should be so incredibly finicky. Fidelity means accuracy or faithfulness to the recording and I just can’t get there without a ridiculous number of never-ending band-aids. Worse, my system is so tricky that it has taken no less than 6 E-Mats to achieve the improvement I currently enjoy and I probably still have not done enough!”
