aurios isolation and espresso

I would try the Audioquest sorbothane feet if you prefer a a lighter and sweeter effect.

Thanks thsalmon I will give it a go.I forgot to ask what power cord others might be using for their machines.

My experience with the "Bigger than a fireman's hose" Power Cord is the coffee becomes very dark--the backround just seems completely black and there's absolutely no grain at all.

Have you got any science to back that up? How about DBTs? Do we have to spit out like in wine tasting (disgusting, if necessary habit, I guess). If not, I am not sure that caffeine saturated testers may not go at each others throats. I have long ago advocated the use of air fresheners in listening rooms, since sound is basically the movement of air, I surmise that making that air smell nice also makes it sound nice and, threfore, should be an added balm to our senses. For Italian music, let's say Paolo Conte, the smell of espresso would be great. Pleasing to the nose, palate and ear, what more could you want?

You'll get better results with a dedicated circuit for your machine rather than a high dollar power cord. If you can't do the dedicated line, think about a PS Audio Ultimate Lab Cable. It's thick and unwieldy, but the total lack of bitter aftertaste is worth it.
