I received the LTA power supply last week and fresh out of the box we found it profoundly different than the stock switcher. We did find the stock switching power supply very good. It has its strengths.
The midrange became the focal point with vocals being very convincing and especially smooth. Dynamics lacked but being a power supply, it needed seasoning.
Im at the twenty hour mark and the LTA is really opening up. The Pro-hectic really is showing what it is capable of against my very good streaming system. I haven’t gone back and A-B’d as I’m waiting for a AES/BU cable (Audio Envy) to show up. I ordered the wrong version - coax- and although sounded very good considering it is not broken in, I wish for the former and a longer length as well.
A few days ago a received a set of Townsend foot pods. They are intended for my phonostage, but first tried them under my May KTE DAC. Not a noticeable improvement vs the maple, I tried them under the maple that holds the Pro-next and the LTA. That was a noticeable improvement. More space, greater separation, just more of everything.
The footers are still going under my phonostage but I may order a set of the foremention footers in this thread or the Lessloss bindbenders (may have spelled that wrong). Predictably, the CD transport plays better with appropriate damping.
