Also interested in the 'audiophile switch' effects I read about. Seems you are also experimenting with those. Thank you for reporting on your findings.
Hi kerkhoffd,
Thanks! I have to admit that the Orea’s are not in my system right now. I briefly tried them earlier this year under the Devialet but felt they were no improvement over the Crusade Audio Diamond base there (unfortunately the opposite). Later I read that others feel it takes some time for the Orea’s to ‘bed in’ but I haven’t tried again. Also ‘aesthetically’ it wasn’t my cup of tea. Perhaps I’ll deploy them somewhere else in the future.
Like you I am very happy with the improvements the Gaia’s gave me.
And yes, you’re right regarding the switch. I have purchased the Uptone Audio Etherregen switch which I received last week. Happy with the results in my system though I have not compared or ever listened to an ‘audiophile’ switch of other brands.
