Thanks, but I have to disagree. There is definitely a clear improvement. I was a piano tuner for 15 years and my ears are very senstive to what they are hearing. I think Steve from Empirical Audio is right. He said, "The explanation is nonsense, however shipping any electronic equipment causes static charge to build-up in the dielectrics. It takes about 3 days for this to dissipate. Also, the new connections probably have to adjust at the metal-metal boundaries. It should sound better after 3 days of break-in.
Best,
Ted.
