System updated:
New sets of Cat feets for Wadia, slightly lower (3 feets).
PL300 use 4 Cat feets instead of 3.
Before, feets were under plinth of PL300. Now it is 1 feet under each original feet. Vibbeaters are positioned further back at top of PL300 to put weight on the rear.
First reflections cotton drapes with Golden Age Music's Pyrapanel 50. 3 panels at each drape. One at the listening room door (first reflection left speaker) and one curtain hanging drape at first reflection of right speaker.
The Gik Acoustic 242 panel on stands, are now positioned (instead of behind speakers) at first reflection of opposite side speaker. That is, 1 242 panel at left side to pick up right side speakers first reflection and vice versa at other channel.
New PC. MAC Burly. As is, Burly suited better at JRDG C-500 and PS Audio Perfectwave AC-12 at Wadia.
Speakers repositioned slightly for more depth and focus.
The MAC Burly is a stunning power chord. It is superbly resolving and gives tremendous silence. For integrateds or power amps this is superb. Without the burn in that Steve claims should be around 200 hours this do marvelous things.
A great advancement of resolution and silence is stunning.
I am, if i may say, very impressed with this system.
I now await my Wireworld Gold Eclipse 6 IC.
The final upgrade that i dream about would be 4 units of Varitune 4 from (www.diffusor.com)
These are maybe the only basabsorbers that you can tune at specific frequencies. The Varitune 6 even goes down to 20Hz.
As is, i would like to work 40-45Hz and 75-80Hz.
I would use 2 for each frequency and position them on top of each other, behind speakers in corners.
the lower 2, 40-45Hz, the 2 on top, 75-80Hz.
I do not suffer from very high peaks, never the less, i have small and they could be absorbed.
With or without i must say a serious workover of acoustics and position of speakers make a world of changes.
Doing so, proves that cables and isolation/ damping will release the utter pin point focus. Control of dynamics will be in for a drastic change.
Just the side reflections and ceiling reflections makes incredible sense when you hear what it does. PC's and isolation/ damping (draining apparatus and bench from vibrations and resonances) proves to show what your other cables really do.
This is my second system 2010 and it has becomn very much more expenses. Looking at just speakers, cd and amplifier and that cost. Looking at acoustics and all other tweaks is very high in compairson. It is no way one is even close to releasing the potential not looking over this.
