Upgrade program kick-off

[baconbrain]

I received my upgraded 250 back on Thursday. I didn’t get to plug it in and have a first listen till Friday night.

Straight out of the box there was noticeable improvements in some areas but the balance of sound was clearly a bit forward. I left my XLO burn in track running for about 12 hours on Saturday and when I had a listen at the end of the day the balance was sounding like the old 250.

I spent quite a bit of time listening to music today and whilst there’s no wattage increase in going PRO it does seem to be driving my speakers considerably better. The bass is deeper and dynamically more powerful.….more texture I think someone else said. The soundstage seems more fleshed out, more 3D, there seems to be more a perception of depth. I’m finding the music is demanding more of my attention in that it’s more engaging emotionally, more fun to listen to. It brings a smile to your face – certainly really enjoying it so far.

Could you post a pic? I am curious to see what it looks like with the copper base.
