What I'm applying can't be done in one go, so it needs a few rounds of adjustments before it is final. And when it's final I may set it back.
Hey Peter, I think that the contrast is very high. This design points out to every little graphics mistake when icons or bitmaps (avatars, xxhighend top right and on the left) are placed on the background - little spikes at the edges for example. The icons should be bright on dark background and vice versa. If using the reply editor the text below the edit window is not readable easily. The background is to bright on the left side of the text area. I don't say anything to the colors - it's a matter of taste. But I like to take photos with black and white films Georg

Hey Mani, did you try SFS @ 2 and PA Strength at 1? This sent the SQ here even further into the stratosphere. In fact, I think that changing SFS to anything other than 2 degrades the sound--perhaps the SFS issue is now a non issue!
Hi Brian, did not explore this side of XXHIghend before - that was a big mistake! First I thought it sounds like a studio monitor but that's not correct. It sounds like a headphone with 3D image! Very, very detailed and exquisite. Georg

It was worth to wait for it After the little hours of listening I try to summarize my experience: The difference is immediately audible. Peter talked about more precision and I hear more instruments, more people and a beautiful room - I call it a big step to pure sound. I'm looking forward to the next days ... 30.07. 12 I got a smaller room for listening music: Room resonances in the lower frequency range aren't audible anymore. 31.07.12 Played today with new settings Q1=50, Phase=3. All PC BIOS settings are turned back to default, all relevant Mobo components disabled: 01.08.12 What should I say - that's a world class music player! Georg

Hi praphan, I don't play in this league but are using a small amp with switching power supply. Tried a lot of tube rolling but found out that the most critical part seems to be the quality of the power supply. The differences were small when using my amp, which is modded heavily in the signal path. Using the same tubes in amps with conventional tube power supply guides to big sonic differences between the tubes. Maybe there is a replacement for the classic Macintosh power supply? Regards, Georg

Hi Praphan, that's not possible in the short-term, I believe. But another aspect: I always liked Peter's approach to deliver the bare and well thought function in contrast to the comfort of the user interface or modularity. It's the best Peter gives us. If commercializing means more eye-cathing features and comfort instead of functionality - I would missa lot Georg
