RE: Tangram Le' Journey Continues...

Well this is turning out to be a monumental weekend on my behalf, re digital.
And how it's nice having the convenience of not having to get up every 20 mins !!!
So started out with just adjusting back, sounding ok but not majestic and the colourations were there and was a little two dimensional compared to my vinyl renditions.
I had put the silver plated / unplated copper on the dac and a rhodium AC and unplated copper iec.
By now I have a good handle of where the colourations were coming from so changed the rhodium AC for gold plated . This was an instant improvement and after about some 20 mins I realised my SGS grounding box was still connected to the phono stage chassis, so immediately connected to my Zidoo neo s media player and dac chassis , after a few mins I heard changes and further the soundstage opened right up and the instruments sounded more real, WOW superb now I can listen through each album without wanting to skip, very nice.

Now after quite a few hours of satisfied listening with my only a couple of niggles really ,of the main leading instruments sounding smaller and narrower than I would have liked. The changeover from vinyl to digital files stored on my internal hard drive being satisfied with whatever.

And then I looked over at my phono stage this morning and wondered...-...-.. the powerchord that housed my unplated silver AC and silver plated copper iec ( my unplated silver iec is actually on the preamp ) was not being used. So switching off the dac and changing out to this said powerchord and turning back on was not what I was expecting, quite simply you can forget about my previous plating experiences as above, this move has brought monumental changes in every department, such a huge improvement and in a very musical way, everything and I mean everything is way way better.

Pretty much my plating experiences have ceased as I have just ordered two copper colour AC and another iec in unplated silver where they will be fitted in the superb thickest aluminium housings from Accuphase. First place when they arrive will be to my blue Xangsane receptacle as previously mentioned many times.

BTW I changed out the powerchord to my Zidoo with the gold plating powerchord that I raved about previously to the silver plated one . By far the silver plated option is the better one, this is post the unplated silver findings. just shows...- and there we go again.
