1st I plugged the stock PS into a dedicated line, then a power conditioner............a lot of improvement. Then I tried a Bolder modified Elpac..............a lot more improvement............ well worth the cost tighter bass better soundstage and a much smoother high end, much less fatiguing. I got one of the last 17.00 Elapacs...........the other supply stores have caught on that audiofools ;-) want them and the price is now 40.00. , I went for the Bolder mods partially from the reviews and partially because I didn't want to hassle with changing the connecter.................I hate changing my guitar strings, but I have to.(I have a cordless screwdriver with stringwinder attached, it's like changing tires at the Indy 500) BTW, I am offering a Bybeee modded String changer that is gauranteed to make your guitar sound better, It is based on the membrane, parallell universe of string theory, it induces quantum bliss into each string, but only when you play Bach. price is 200,000 and WELL WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I had the Elpac shiped directly to Bolder............my total cost was 109.00 delivered to my house. A pro recording engineer was visiting when the modded Elpac arrived. He also noticed a very big difference from the stock PS and thought it was without doubt worth the money. This guy builds much of his own equipment. recommended the Lavry10 and is not a tweak geek. I think of him as a moderate skeptic like me. Although I am trying to sell him one of my string winders. Anyway the Elpac/Bolder mod is pretty cheap, especially if your not a diy guy like me. -- tomjtx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomjtx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28155 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
