it's like another level of technology at the high frequencies, although the bass is a lot cleaner too.... this synergy is just amazing... and dollar for dollar one harvester plus ERS is like a high end power cord upgrade.... I'm hearing things that never came through before, the clarity of Coltrane, Hendrix, all these hidden nuances.... some kind of super-bargain if there ever were one....

Great to hear it ...thanks, tonemaniac.

Have you tried it along with choke 193L? How about wrapping ERS cloth to all male/female AC plugs?

By the way , where did you get ERS?

thanks.

  I was listening late into the night.... I have to say this is incredibly powerful and almost like getting a new set of components... at first the sound seems a bit leaner... then you realize that there has been a layer of distortion clotting all the higher frequency information.... sort of like eating at a place where they cook with peanut butter, imparts a uniform richness than becomess palling after a while.... the Harvester + ERS removes *so much* crud the system sounds like it has been retuned... then you realize *how much* information was lost to contamination and pollution.. and this is a pretty good system as it is, using things like Shunyta power cords, Sonus Faber speakers, Wadia transport, graphitic interconnects.... cryo high end receptacle, MIT Z-center line filter.... so one extra RF/HF catcher shouldn't make that much difference, or so I would have thought... anyway, most of my old standyby recordings had that new, heard it for the first time quality.. things that should have been obvious but I never noticed before.... so something well beyond the standard model is at work here, I can only guess that there is some kind of synergistic coupling where the Harvester+ERS creates some kind of RF noise black hole....

    You can make lots of changes that reduce aspects of the RF noise problem, but there will still be some RF noise. If there is a major source that your previous tweaks did not address, then the improvement you experience when you do nail it will seem overwhelming. This is because you nibbled around it until it was the dominant source. Had you addressed it first, the change you would have noticed then would have been minor.
    
    You are listening to the sum total of all the tweaks you have made. Enjoy!
