Jsujo: About the "timing" of music etc. I'm assuming it has to do do with the "upsurge" or "attack" of each cycle of frequency involved, like when certain copper conductors used instead of silver. Copper can give impression of better bass at first but usually works out to be just a change in conductance vs frequency response of the wire in question, not an actual change in the peak-to-peak milliseconds. Most of my equiptment has now seen 3 different houses and each place had it's own characteristics the way stuff sounded. Forgetting for the moment the power amp sound changes, the tv picture (RCA CRT 38" hdtv, over-the-air antenna) had vastly better picture with cleaner edges, blacker blacks, no digital artifacts on weak signals, less "snow" on very weak analog signals. The Nakamichi 5.1 receiver sound was improved/clearer/cleaner/more intelligible but not the day/night changes of the DK. The DK I took down to my mainly tube-type dealer and listened to it with his better surrounding ancillaries (Ensemble CD, Whest gizmo, all Audio Note silver cables,big Zingali speakers and Richard Grey Power Conditioning....DK better down there but frankly from a smoother/punchier/ standpoint better with smaller speakers I have and the Adcom conditioner. Last year at CES/THESHOW I noted many of demo rooms sounded weirder than I would have expected with the equiptment shown and almost universally those rooms had extensive power conditioning (this is not a scientificly done observation). One of the demo rooms had a very pedestrian amp/cd/wiring with small Radio Shack speakers that sounded pretty good (not great, just pretty good) that was meant to show off how his power conditioner can make any 'ol thing sound good....most people missed the point and just said "I didn't know those Radio Shack speakers were that good". Next month I'm going to CES and be on the look-out specifically for power conditioner stuff and will report back what is of note. Also going to think this through a bit a start a thread on subject, unless somebody comes with better concept to start with.
