Well I gave it another go this morning with Tom's diner. It's just after 6AM so in my town most people are still asleep. Less chance of distorted power. I even put my ear right up to my speaker in different places (woofer, tweeter and a little further away where the sound of both meet) Still I didn't hear ANY difference. I can however clearly hear the studio in the recording.
The picture posted above is an old one when my D200 was still in place. The rack is a little different now but similarly temporary. I'm building a new living room with two 20 Ampere amplifier circuits and another one to power just the rest of the system. I've just received a box of Cat 6A S/FTP (shielded foiled twisted pair) for data cabling. I will also get a heavy duty steel frame welded to hang my Od'A on and some shelving also made from steel. This will hang in between the two cabinets. These cabinets BTW, sit on little doorstops which are drilled into the bottom and only stick out a few mm. The massive weight of the cabinets, the CD's and wine inside, plus the feet should result in very little vibration to the equipment. I wonder though whether all this will result in a better sounding system because the room acoustics will be totally different. And not for the better. But that's a story for another time.
With this test one thing should be kept in mind; SAM profiles are different for every speaker. It is meant to fix timing issues of your speakers so the better the speaker, the less SAM does. So it's very possible to get different results. It would be interesting if someone else with Dynaudio C1 mk2's could try the same.
P.S. no comments on my bass traps?
