This system is awesome! I've listened to it every day since I received it. I've thrown various styles of music at it and it has performed flawlessly. It's very musical, dynamic as hell and revealing. The bass is tight and very controlled. The soundstage is fuller with all the detail and instrument separation intact and the center image is locked on. I can't say with certainty which new component did all of this, because I don't have the patience to swap one component out at a time, but as a collective group this has transformed my system; dare I say synergy has been met. Like I've said before, Pine Tree Audio will be my first stop when I need anything audio related. I'm proud to be an owner of any of your designs and now that I have removed the weak points within my system, I think my system looks aesthetically pleasing....even down to the spade connections with the "Muscular" speaker cables.
