Thanks Z: I agree with you completely. The loading has is giving me a much more defined sound stage,not to mention deeper and wider and taller. I feel that I am close in that there is still tremendous heft and power in the fundamentals.Bass lines are just as full as before but tighter,easier to follow. I feel that the loading has lowered the sound floor so much that EVERYTHING is better. Indeed I have never had a better system.
I am listening to records as though I have never heard them before. Old chestnuts are no longer old because I have never heard the inner details and nuances like this.

now for what I am listening to tonight:

Jethro Tull "Thick as a Brick"

Christy Moore "Ordinary Man"

Kings College "Durafle Requiem"

Sphere "Flight Path"

I've just spun Kaleidoscope (the American band featuring David Lindley) Side Trips c 1967, rereleased, picked up at a record show, mostly because of an affinity for Lindley's post Jackson Browne stuff. i have a feeling Mr. Bungle might have played it. Now I gotta check out Zaikesman's Brit band of the same name.......
Elvis Presley "Elvis is Back!" (Speakers Corner reissue)

Frank Sinatra "Songs for swingin' lovers" (Capitol gray label)

Stefan Wolpe "Trio" for flute, piano and cello, CRI 233

Beethoven "Archduke Trio" Barenboim, du Pre, Zukerman, EMI ASD 2572

Victoria de los Angeles "Zarzuela Arias," EMI ASD 2415 (superb)

The Organ in St Dominic's Priory London, Thomas Murray organist, Vista VPS 1069 (these Vista organ recordings are always incredibly good!)
