I am quite interested in your impressions, although not so much related to the particular device, component, or cable. Rather, similar alterations or iterations within my system have had similar effects. Of course, I mentioned before that putting several cases of record spines behind one of the speakers seemed to click in the imaging in a significant way.
The TEO liquid ICs made a substantial change, as well. I had heard that they sound spectacular out of the box, and indeed they did. I heard that there was a dramatic drop-off in tonality and imaging at about the 25-hour mark, but to keep the faith regardless, as they would blossom again at about 80 to 90 hours. It seems ridiculous, I know, but they did perform exactly as suggested.
Part of what I consider revelatory is that others had called (in advance) the phenomena, and my listening experience substantiated the effect. It was like I was vaguely listening, and I thought "I'm hearing more into the music again! This is great!" The excitement came rushing back.
Part of what I consider revelatory is that this harkens back to the UFO phenomena. We would not necessarily acknowledge first causes even if we were to run into them headlong. They seem weird and frightening at first, and then comes the epiphany....
No drogas were used or harmed in the delivery of the above statement.
