The AQVox has continued to delight me. In some respects I would argue that it is one of those transformative changes, a bit like the power line upgrades I carried out a few years ago, and more recently the power conditioning.
I am hearing other reports from other owners and they are very much tallying up with my observations.
My approach has always been "everything matters" even if I couldn't always explain why a change worked or not. Many of the tweaks over the years have been at best very difficult to properly evaluate and I am always very open to the power of placebo and experimenter's bias. A computer switch really shouldn't make a difference but this one is dramatic in its effect. It is such a profound change in my system that I just can't ignore it.
