For the few that have followed my noise experiment,I think I am at a end point. To say that this journey has not been fruitful would be a understatement. If I was to say how all this has played out sonically,two main points. One being the positive effect on clarity and the amount of congestion in a recording,especially complex and large orchestras and chorale recordings. Two would be the effects of compression on instruments and voices,or everything in the recording. The compression aspect has kind of blown me away,because the shear weight,power and size of each instrument,and grouping whether large or small has revealed music in a new way that I have never experienced before in a home system,not mine at least.So the lack of congestion and compression has been profound. I started to streamline the ground pathway by replacing the many smaller gauge cables with 1 or 2 gauge size cables.
What has surprised me is the amount of noise in my system,but it shouldn't have, given I use 5 amplifiers which output about 4600 watts. That's why I needed to keep adding to the size of the pathway and I have done this very methodically. Each cable I have added has never failed to bring me closer to the music and I must say if any range of music has benefited it has been the bass,which has been mind blowing,very powerful,controlled with great articulation.
Anyway I now look forward to building my second system which will be tubes and horns...can't wait.
