Hi Alan,

OK. I removed the Auricaps from the CDP and sat down and listened...some of the "magic" had dissappeared and some midrange break-up and sibilance became evident as well. I recalled at that point that I had not placed caps across the secondaries of the JR SQ&D Iso Trans (linked below) I use to feed my CDP....so last night I placed the Auricaps there..."magic" has returned in spades! Tough to tell if it sounds better than it did w/them inside the CDP but I'm inclined to think that it does....but that may be more of a testament to my speakers (lightly tweaked B&W CDM9NTs...don't laugh...I'm in the process of building new towers) and CDP (lightly tweaked Denon DVD 2900)...both of which sound "OK" but really need assistance to do so. Interesting that both you and cdc heard "negative" effects when using both the Auricaps and chokes together (read in earlier posts by each of you if I recall correctly). Well, as time passes and my gear changes, so may my tastes and preferences, but for the moment the Auricaps shall remain.

I received your email but have not replied yet....I do wish to talk w/you about the PE...especiall since benie and cdc both mentioned it with praise.

Interesting....thus far I've only given passing thought to maple blocks (not so exotic...), but that has been lower on my tweak priority scale as I'm in the process of both building speakers and adding the 'Extended' package to my Bottlehead Foreplay III linestage. I guess I should give a whirl to a few diff types of wood footers/blocks and see if I can hear a difference with my gear. I recalled how much the pods impressed me (for the $$ especially) so if the direction is towards exotic woods, it may very well be worth my time and effort to learn a bit more.

Thank you once again for taking the time to share your knowledge with us!


Regards,

Doug
