    Don't forget to put a lid on it or the cat may think it's a litter tray.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Oops. An extortionate 50% increase in cost! This hifi hobby can certainly be expensive.

    I'm sure Tony will smile when/if he reads your invitation.

    What possible incentive is there for him to travel to Yorkshire (with associated expense in time and fuel), when the benefits of his RTZ products can be readily demonstrated at Coherent Systems HQ?

    For the record, I made the trip to Buckinghamshire three weeks ago and listened as Tony added his grounding cables to different inputs/outputs on his system and the improvement is not subtle as already described on this thread!

    I know of one other satisfied customer in Chobham who has proceeded to purchase Tony's top RTZ system and Tony's present problem seems to be satisfying demand for his products!

    Yes, they are expensive and not everyone can justify the expense, but if you have a system you are currently enjoying, then, believe me, prepare for that enjoyment level to be increased when the RTZ is added!

    I have spent the last week or so with a loan Entreq Silver Tellus and four Entreq Apollo Eartha cables attached to my preamp, Transport and DAC and these boxes/cables do enhance the listening experience in all the areas described by the various manufacturers (lower system noise level, increase in dynamics, greater bass depth, soundstage improvement with more "space" around individual instruments/performers).

    The effects are both cumulative (with the addition of more cables to unused RCA/XLR/BNC/USB etc inputs and outputs) and expensive!

    My main gripe about Entreq products are their physical dimensions and weight! The Silver Tellus box weighs 22kg and is the size of an amplifier!

    Tony's RTZ products are much more compact and the heaviest reference box, the RTZ3 is under 15kg in weight.

    I shall be pursuing the Coherent Systems RTZ option further!

    Give the guy a break. It's like you want him to get into trouble. If the ASA is anything like most of these quango type bodies they're clueless.
