I have one on my Aro and it is an improvement. I also happen to have one of Naims 'heavy' counterweights and compared it to that - the two are similar in benefit but the Skale is slightly better still (and also a lot more nicely machined and finished).

Just seen in your system profile you have the SW1X DAC!
I too have this DAC, the sig version.
Bloody Good isn't it?!

Hmm... difficult to say - I don't know what difference you expect for £200. In the context of my own system its difficult to think how I could get such an improvement for less but then the cost of the whole is thousands. The Tranquillty is an even bigger (and more fundamental) difference but then it's twice the price and only currently available for the LP12.
