Wow! a major transformation of the room acoustics Doc! Congrats on the new cart as well. Guess it's really time to pay you a visit one of this days. ;)

@ Nelson - sked tayo another payatas boys session at my place one of these days bro, after we listen to Tony's new phonostage :)

@ B747 - Hi Donnel, long time no see. Lagi kasi busy si Arnold with his new baby kaya di natin maayos-ayos sked. Yayain ko uli para makasked tayo session soon :)

I Put on these Voodoo Black Diamond Dragon power cords on the amps. Before trying these on, I thought after market power cords were just that - voodoo and snake oil, with probably no significant sonic effect (but I did buy relatively not-so-expensive powercords in the past just for pogi points :$ ). However, after trying the black diaond dragons from voodoo audio, ako ang na-voodoo :lol: . Di ko na matanggal. Laki ng pagbabago (luckily for the better :) ). The mids became meatier and the prat faster. The background became quieter ( I noticed this when I tried putting back my old powercords - biglang naging magalas ang tunog; and all along akala ko malinis na tunog ng system ko before). There was a more significant effect when putting one on the macintosh amp driving the mid-high. Even the bass became clearer and more tuneful even if I didn't put one on the parasound amp driving the woofer. Adding another dragon on the parasound amp only improved the bass further to a small extent (nadagdagan lang ng konting grunt on the lowermost octave), not as significant as the effect on the mac. Pero I still decided to keep the dragon on the parasound too kasi pangit tingnan kung magkaiba cords ng dalawang amps (buti na lang my friendly sulsultants elmo and chino were amenable to looooong payment terms :rofl: :rofl: ).

Congrats Pareng Randy, sa kuwento mo pa lang pati ako na voodoo na rin yata :lol: :lol: I have got to try this tweak on my front end, let's see what it can bring. If the results turn positive, sana we can negotiate for a very loooooooooooong payment terms :rofl: :rofl:

Doc randy, I suggest you put the voodoo on your preamp and check if ok instead of putting it on your parasound . In my experience the least effect for powercords is the amp that drive the bass the biggest effect for me is when you put it on your preamp and front ends but i notice that on phono stage, you will have better result using 12 awg or higher lower than this will make your sound a bit stiff. ENJOY BECAUSE THE NEXT MOVE ARE POWER CONDITIONERS :tmi: :tmi: :tmi:

Its good to hear the black diamond dragons worked well in your set up doc. Next natin yung MODWRIGHT LS100 preamp. Kahit very looooooooooooooong term payments basta ikaw. :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil:

You are right Teddy. Konti lang nadagdag na improvement on the parasound pero kasi pangit tingnan na mataba wire ng isa tapos payat yung isa kaya nilagyan ko na pareho :lol: . Pero my next move will be to try the platinum dragon either on the preamp or the phonostage :)
