I am hoping for an OMG moment when the Touch arrives.
In fact do we have an OMG thread?

Hi, good post.Originally Posted by technobear
Would this be because you haven't tried a Transporter?
This is one of those cases where it sounds like everything is OK until you hear something which is better and then you have one of those OMG moments
I thought my speakers were fabulous until I fitted the Mundorf silver cap. NOW they are fabulous. Before I only thought they were.
Same with the stepped attenuator in the amp.
Same moving from SB/HiFace/CD player to a Transporter.
Can't remember though, is your Caiman modded? How far from "stock" is it...mutaras..Rubycons...custom PSU?
Also, what's the comparison between the stock Transporter vs Transporter thru Caiman?
(as.it's what your using I'm Guessing better)

I never thought of this before...it IS a switcher..
Hmnn, wonder why this particular Reg was chosen as the supertweak and not a non switching variety?
Sounds great regardless, but just wondering.

I'm not sure what the Dexa regulators I used are (I think they're analogue), but they sound bloody good.

However, there is nothing wrong with switching when well executed.

Can, please, someone explain in simple words what is this "switching" you're talking about ?
