Level 2 Upgrade
I have purposely left it a few weeks before giving you an update on the power supply upgrade you carried out on my CD transport. My understanding was that the new transformer you fitted would need a burn in period to sound at its best and that is certainly my experience. The music now after perhaps 100+ hours playing time regardless of type and quality of recording definitely has more body with a much fuller overall presentation . Dynamics have also shown a further improvement over the C4 clock upgrade as well as better instrument separation.
I would say this latest upgrade has in fact surpassed the C4 improvement even , my system is now finally giving me the overall sound I have striven for for many many years with much box swapping , but I really think I am very close to my end game system.
