Arrived and plugged both into Mac mini, one in a spare port the other into the USB cable serving the Dev.
Initial reaction on a short listen - disappointment.
Not sure what I was expecting, but if the reviews were accurate and the increase from these things is a '10', right now I've not got little hope for the REGEN at a '15'.
I didn't want to 'try' and hear something, that to me would be placebo. If there was a difference, it wasn't enough to be immediately obvious, and that's using them both. But let's leave then in for a few days and remove them, and see if I can detect any change and maybe eat my words.
As a technical note, they are wider than the spacing of the Mac mini's USB ports, which limits options a bit as they cant be plugged in next to one and other. Not an issue for me as I only have 1 cable, but might be an issue for some, or if trying to actually get the mac's auto-USB thing to get them on the same bus.
