3)      The common mode filter you have at the PS’s input- why do you use them? They do eat some dynamics. As many time I removed them from all imaginary components as many time I witnessed better sound.



After a long break I'm slowly comming back to my system. Only now I've found the time to check that and I must agree with Romy: Removing CM filters, MOVs, arresters the rest of the engeneering crap (apart from the hour meter) from the power lines has cleaned the sound, its more emotionally involving, direct, the dynamical contrast does seem better. The change was rather subtle but noticeabe, in a bit similar direction as my experiments with vibration decoupling- some subtle veil got removed.

Cheers,
