Shifting things around

Had a (minor) reorganisation of my main system last week.

Moved the P50sa from top shelf to Right middle shelf - above R power amp.
Main system DAC to top - away from poweramp.

On the 3 levels now :
Top - CD transport + main system DAC
Middle - Headphone DAC + Pi streamer + P50sa pre-amp
Ground - A40 + Pi PSU + A40

Also consciously tried to separate digital coax interconnects which are now restricted to upper/left side
and NVA analogue interconnects are lower/right side.

This has all resulted in a slight but noticeable improvement to the centering of the balance of sound coming from the speakers (was orientated to the right) and a general improvement in 'stability' with a more open soundstage and imaging.

Next move will be to tidy up the mains-lead spaghetti. :grin: :geek:

I hate cables- I had too many as I was running 3 amps, therefore 3 sets of interconnect, tri amped cabling and mains cable plus phono stage, cdp streamer, tv & TiVo
Removed 2 amps, and went to single speaker cabling, back to P20 with remote switch box cutting interconnect and mains spaghetti
Always looking to gain performance with isolating/ coupling equipment to supports- almost a full time job!

You don't realise how much effect it has until you experience it for yourself. :think:

There used to be an emoji for that, you beat me to it, whilst I was finding this out.

Was never good at ‘spot the ball’ either ✅
