I've been reading this thread with some interest; especially after reading Robert Harley's review recently. I've been curious about adding room 'tweaks', either the Syergistic Research ART system of bowls on wood blocks; the Stein music harmonizer system, or this product...seems like they all have supporters, but only have funds for one of them. How sensitive is this device to interconnect cables? In other words; have you used identical quality cables from pre-amp to amp; and added identical set for the qol device? Does it reflect different quality or brands of IC's, or is it pretty immune to cable influence? Same with power cords? I'm just thinking about the total price of admission to this dance; $4k for the device; $500-$800 for quality balanced 1 m IC's; and $400 for a power cord; makes it as much as a new DAC, or component. If I jump; I'll probably place it between preamp(tubed VAC) and solid state mono blocks...any issues with impediance matching? Thanks. Looking forward to hear from other people's experience...as I have problems in my room itself; that this might help solve.
