Excellent post- a great contribution. I like how you categorized the changes into classes based on the degree of change, and it is interesting what is in each category. Looking at your room, I would expect that even small changes would be quite apparent, as there appears to be little to interfere with the sound. If you found the changes to the rack and altitude of the equipment yielded a greater change than the D200 to D400, or power or speaker cables, I certainly believe that is the case.
I also know the Totem Element Fire speakers; they are wonderful, musical speakers and are very revealing. The whole Element series is very good. The purple rug is a total bonus as well.
I did forget to mention that the purple rug also improved the sound in the room as well!
Well not the fact that is was purple....I also have 40 square feet of 4" acoustic panels behind the curtains. The photo is a bit of a cheat as behind me is the kitchen and dining area....
Devialet 400; KEF Reference 3; custom built Server 2012 with JRiver & Audiophile Optimizer; med grade wall socket; 10 AWG speaker cable bi-wire & un-terminated; AudioQuest Carbon USB with Jitterbug; Shunyata Venom 3 power cables.
