Ya,I do definitely understand the need to keep it simple and clean,I’ve just become use to the sea of wires behind all the equipment.It would be better to elevate the cables like you do ,but I have so many,where to even start?Have a wonderful day Sir, John
Wow,very impressive system Sir.The different iterations are quite lovely and I can only imagine how wonderful they sound together.I am sure it sounds pure and organic like I could only hope for someday.I was just wondering if you have ever considered experimenting with any grounding boxes.With you’re caliber of equipment,it would probably be quite revealing and beneficial.In my experience,it removes a veil off the sound stage making things more open and enjoyable to listen to.I use Entreq,but others may work just as well.Only other thing I would be curious about,have you tried Stillpoint anti-resonance feet and or racks.Their products I found a game changer.I tried multiple other feet throughout the years,and once you hear the difference they make,it’s very hard,impossible even,to go back to a system without them.I am not affiliated in any way with either company.I am so very impressed with your system that I literally couldn’t imagine how much more music you could extract from the grooves.I hope you consider my thoughts and please don’t think they come from a bad place.I have the utmost respect for your skills and abilities in choosing an excellent system.Have a wonderful day Sir, John
