    Nice review. But anything you added under gear and there is a ton of footers will change the sound by bringing areas of reproduction more forward, some the bass, others the high thus you think more detail, but having tried many over many years, I am back to using the feet the designer but on the gear, a solid rack does more than any tweak footers. Yes, every review says the sound became different, well try for hard apples under your gear and you will say wow I was surprised I heard a change. But if you like what you hear that is all that matters, put the money into your room acoustics and that will take you further into really enjoying your music system, the room is a huge part of what we hear from our systems.

  • @The6thShadow

    This is some serious stuff. Most people would consider cables to be snake oil so this is definitely a risk but the risk can be eliminated if there's undeniable improvements and I think they just did that with Howard being blown away by the sound. Anyway, if this is all true then I'm sure obvious improvements to sound will be welcomed in the market.
