[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Today's upgrade
Today's upgrade consisted of replacing the power wall outlet. It used to be switched (pretty normal here in the UK). Now it isn't. Sounds a bit like someone gave the amp a good talking to, telling it to stop dragging its feet. A clear improvement in other words. And no, I didn't ABX, or even AB, this tweak. Makes me wonder why I put doing this off so long.. The replacement outlet is nothing fancy. Cost a couple of pounds at Screwfix. -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
