I finally got the new Symposium Foundation Rack Ultra and several sets of Rollerblock Jr HDSE. Everything is all set up, leveled, etc. A new Niagara 3000 connected to the newly installed dedicated 20 amp line (using 10 gauge romex). This was a serious upgrade, in total, to my system. I expected to hear a solid improvement in SQ. What I got went beyond my best expectations. Holy cow! It's like adding an entirely new high-end component(s). Recently reading some entries here of Pink Floyd records gave me reason to do just that, last night.
First up, to warm up the tubes and my ears...
Elvis Costello, 'My Aim Is True'
Tom Petty, 'Damn the Torpedoes'
Then a small hit and a glass of wine. Next up...
Pink Floyd, 'Meddle' the reissue on Pink Floyd Records - Excellent!
Pink Floyd, 'The Wall' (all 4 sides). My original copy from when first released. Excellent condition. Phenomenal sound quality.
I thought I knew my records very well. I'm now hearing musical information and the finest of nuances in the material I never knew was there. The depth, soundstage, imaging are fantastic, better then ever. Very 3-dimensional. This is a real treat!
