Components Toggle details

    • Esoteric X-03SE
    Pro: Violin solo and classical Con: Lack of emotion on some vocal recordings, may be too much detail~
    • Jeff Rowland Continuum 500
    Lacking the lower note control, great mid & upper range int. amp
    • Dynaudio Confidence C1
    Very detail and great for a small room like mine.
    • Cardas Golden Reference 1M IC
    I haven't tried some more expensive ones yet but their performance is acceptable as of now.
    • Cardas Golden Reference 2.5M Speaker Cable
    Same as IC, saving up some cash for something different. I really wish to test the Tara Labs The one and Superconductor on my system. Hope it happens soon~
    • Musical Fidelity Stable-1 x2
    The before and after difference is noticeble. It's worth the price tag if you can still find one on the market.
    • Oyaide F1 / M1 + EE/F-S 2.6 (2M)
    I test it on both DAC and Int. Amp. Difference is very noticeble. It's being used on the INT amp now as I found JR Continumm 500 sounds more neutural with this power cord. May be it's just in my setup. I highly recommend this power cord for anyone who wants to dig more detail out of their current system. It does really help. Price might be a little high for a custom cable.
    • Oyaide P004/C004 + 4N Copper Litz (2M)
    Used on the X-03SE, beyond my expectation for the price i paid.
    • Oyaide R1
    The before and after difference is not as noticeble as the F1/M1 + EE/F-S 2.6 but it's a solid outlet.
    • Solidsteel HS-2
    Very beautiful stand. Simple and solid.
    • Weiss Medea
    Very smooth while detail.
    • Tara Labs The 0.8
    Great imaging with smooth highs.

Hi,
I find that toe-in reduces soundstage width quite a bit with
my Dynaudio's as well.This seems to be true for the DCM's I own also.
I didn't read all of the prior threads but I'm curious to know what's behind/at the sides of your seating position
I seem to get a bigger soundstage extension on one side of my listening room because it's an assymetrical layout.
Pillows behind my head seem to help reduce early reflections from the wall behind my seating position,which seems to help soundstage width and depth.
One last thing seems obvious but I'll mention it anyway.
Some recordings don't seem to have a lot of stage width-depth to begin with,others are truly incredible.Who knows? Good luck.
