Is there any change in the performance of your system after putting a Ti-Shield grounded ring to the torroid's external circumference ?

Thanks.

Yes, I now do get a clear impression of improvement from the Ti shielded toroid arrrangement. Took a few days of burn in and some critical listening with nobody around today. It became quite apparent. Cymbals, bassline, depth are the areas where it was most apparent.

Again, each of these RFI/EMI changes seems to be cumulative and each iteration brings similar effects, just moreso. It's as though you cleaned the grease off your stovetop, then cleaned it again and saw more shine, then cleaned it yet again with another product and it got shinier still. Or think of the eyeglasses analogy; take your pick.

This one's still mystifying me. All other Ti applications gave immediate results, but this one's less apparent. I'm still burning in and haven't had time to evaluate. I can tell you that there's no downside to my ears, so it didn't hurt anything.

It's entirely possible that I have a loose connection or that I did something differently or wrong here. Either would invalidate the answer. So I"m going to check it out this weekend.

The other thing with a lot of these RFI tweaks is that they're cumulative. At some junctures the differences become less apparent, but if you remove them you realize how much impact they actually had.

I'm not going to remove it for testing and this particular tweak does not lend itself to A/Bing. So it's going to be a check through and retesting by ear and I'll let you know.
