Well the clock cable Stellabagpus sent is a revelation
How can I describe the sound I hear as it is difficult to describe
Effortless: Music flows with ease
Dynamic: This is like a open window into the music
Moreish: It's hard to pull myself away from a listening session
A felt experience that is satisfying. Kind of like how a good concert can wash away your concerns

That's great to hear John, and very satisfying indeed,being it was all done on a punt.
For me its what it's all about Sharing and Caring.

Well that mad scientist Stellabagpus sent over his graphene home brew.
I applied to the mains connectors on my plugs on my cables to monos and DAC
Initially I could hear more depth and SpeedySteve etch in the treble.
I wiped the plug to the DAC andthe etch was gone.
A bit more detail and depth its similar to what a good fuse brings to to the sound

Well that's a great result John. Considering it's a theory and l haven't even tried the stuff out myself.

That's also the case with the Mad Scientist graphene: it's tempting to use too much, but just a tiny smear which hardly discolours the contacts is all that's needed.

Yes with the digital side I think I put to much on but cleaning must have helped.
The weirdest bit ws that it kept on improving as I listened.

l think it's down to curing of the oil John. l would imagine you need to let it dry for a bit,just like paint.
Jules would know all about this when paints his nails 🤣

I think it seeps into all the crevasses, making better contact over time.

Chatting to a friend who used to go to a lot of gigs with me and another friend, he reminded me that he used to want to watch the bass player my other friend would want to check out what pedals and gear the guitar player was using and I want to be close to the mixing desk in the hope of getting the best sound.

Clear view of the drummer used to be priority,so l could checkout cymbals.
Although these days John l tend enjoy the overall sound, picking bits up as l go along.

Apart from the odd gig I watched everyone
Very difficult when there is a lot going on, EG Tony Williams Lifetime, Mahavishnu, Gentle Giant

I done a few minor tweaks that have all helped
Added Graphene to the speaker cables and grounding leads. Nice upgrade in depth and detail
The Leo Bodnar tweak increased the sense of slam
I am at the point where something makes a reasonable difference or is a backwards step

Well I finally got the Church Bells on Waking the Witch by Kate Bush to fully ring. It's only taken 20 years to get there.
Now if only a high resolution system did not show the mixing faults to Queensryche Operation Mindcrime
