After making the Shunyata Research addition, I am very happy!

That's great news, Dave, really happy it has worked out so well for you.

I see a lot of folks "chasing upgrades", most notably speakers, amps, pres, etc. in search of putting together an engaging and compelling sound system, all the while not considering or minimizing the importance of providing maximal DTCD and mitigating RF, EMI and internal power supply noise by using products e.g. a Shunyata power distributor, NR power cables and wall receptacle. The impact of the Shunyata QR/BB device on a system is singular and unique and really change the nature of the presentation in compelling ways. These things are foundational, IMHO, and once folks implememnt and install them, they often find they can stop "chasing" upgrades. What your speakers were doing were actually revealing problems elsewhere in your system.

Amazing how closed minded many of that site’s members are and how the administrators have no problem censoring opinions that differ from the majority and mostly ignorant members. I don’t think they can handle the truth that their beloved Revels can be significantly improved by use of a top quality power distributor and cable. Their loss.

Wow, unbelievable. Its a system, after all, the various components interact.

IMHO, you're better off not wasting time with a closed-minded community.

That's a good place for it. I don't know how many days you've had it, but it will continue to improve as it fully settles in over a period of 10 to 14 days. As for rugs, an area rug under the speakers will help with floor bounce. Just a suggestion for consideration. Also, consider those EVPs for your speakers once you get them set up and positioned permanently.

Really great to hear that you're happy.
