Simon's system

[sdn660]

After enjoying my Devialet-based system for some time the upgrade-virus arrived in december and I started tuning. 

So far the changes I made are:

1. Replaced my Rel subwoofer with Velodyne
In my listening room there are some nasty resonances in the lower frequencies.
In my former system I could filter the these frequencies with the roomcorrection software that comes standard in the Linn Klimax.
After replacing the Linn by Aurender the feature of roomcorrection was gone.
Velodyne has built-in roomcorrection. Velodyne made this option very user-friendly to apply. After some experimenting with cut-off frequencies of the sub and D200 I 'm happy with the integration of my D200 and sub. The Velodyne is connected to D200 (both left and right channel) with QED subwoofer cables.

2. Power cables & Power distribution
Furutech TCS21.
Standard mains cable of the Velodyne was replaced with Furutech TCS21. Bass became a lot deeper, more controlled and detailed.

Shunyata Alpha digital. . (Upgraded to Shunyata Alpha NR september 2019)
With Ansuz and Nordost Cables throughout my system I liked the level of detail. The downside of it was that in some recordings the sound could be too bright. To reduce this brightness I replaced Ansuz mainz power Cable to Aurender with Shunyata Alpha digital. The change effectively reduced the brightness. 

Diy Powerdistribution block
Components: 

• IEC-inlet: Furutech NCS; 
  
• Schuko outlets: Furutech E30 (G);
  
• Internal wiring: Mundorf teflon coated silver-gold wire.
  

As many of you posted on this forum powercords can make a big difference. I can only state from experience that is does. Also the distribution block made a big difference. All the changes together made the sound better, more balanced, more detailed, deeper bas, better soundstage, .... .
