    Listening to the system tonight I have noticed a greater clarity to a lot of the recordings and better separation on information so vocals are now that much clearer. I can hear what the lyrics are without struggling.

    The only change in my system - Tube vibration rings!

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Careful! Such proclamations have been compared to witchcraft.

    Glad you hear the effect to. I'm a big believer in "everything matters".

    There was a downside to the increased clarity - bloody clicks and pops sounded louder and more noticeable!

    No, but they are even clearer now. Sometimes they could be obscured a little in the mix as it were but last night I noticed lyrics were easily intelligible. It's interesting that changing even small things in your system can have unknown consequences. Every piece of equipment no matter how big or small somehow manages to change your perception of what you hear, they draw your attention to different aspects in the music.

    I might just add the noise floor was very low last night for some reason and ambient temperature in my room was perfect so these factors could also effect how my system sounded.

    Later today it is going to sound dramatically different for sure with a Massive change happening.

    A bit of the Massive never hurt anybody.

    The big question is how many rings you have fitted?
    Would valve dampers be better?
