Interesting. Maybe it’s the cable sheathing differences, or the carpet. Perhaps yours is made from wool or silk or some other natural fibers.

@craig_severin I actually have some but can’t hear a difference with them installed. None of my power cords or interconnects touch each other, not sure if that makes a difference but it looks tidy. This system has the blackest background of any system I’ve ever had, I’m sure the isolation transformer and the dedicated electrical is helping that.

Awesome system. Lots of custom work and effort. You would be stunned by the improvement from lifting those speaker cables off the carpet. Even in my system, which is not comparable, I was stunned. It was one of those unforgettable improvements that I distinctly remember.

@alan2 it is a custom billet case, side panels from Techtrader in Switzerland. Very nice quality, highly recommended.

gnaudio

Thanks for getting back. What are you using for the custom footers?

@alan2 thank you. Works perfectly, it’s a concrete floor with a solid stand and custom footers under the reel to reel.

gnaudio

Very nice system that you have put together. Your Revox that you have close the floor does it work well the way you have it. I have a Revox A77 MKII I could setup the same way because of my system rack is pretty full.
All the best
