I started a few weeks ago with the ADD POWR power bar and a couple Eau4's, I was moved enough to invest in a Soccer 4. One of the Eau4's is plugged into the second system circuit and one is plugged into a buddy's system and he isn't giving it back. Land and Mark and are frequent flyers with my big rig. Lane, a singer is not interested in owning gear wept when I played Rutter's Requiem aeternam. Mark startled when the first notes of Deacon Blues leapt out of the blackness. They both pointed to more clarity, punch dynamics. Mark was alert to the pronounced positive soundstage changes enhancing the holographic illusion. He is contemplating a substantial upgrade to his very pleasing Magico/Krell/Aurender rig. (We listened to six albums of his choosing)
We are collectively not blown away. Rather, the music at times lures us into emotional rides and other times grabs us by the throat pulling us under. I have little idea what's going on here except for the outcome. I did dial the phono gain back a hair to count for the increased presence, leading edge attack and sound pressure levels with vinyl.
