Listening impressions

After two days of listening, this is what I hear:

Punchier, deeper bass with the BGT. Perhaps a little more bass detail. This is the most obvious difference.

Slightly cleaner overall presentation, but a subtle effect, not nearly as obvious as the above.

Didn't hear much difference with the resistor in or out of circuit. At times I thought there was a slight "thinning" of the sound with the resistor, but it may have been imagined.

So I'd say it's well worth the minimal effort.

I tried adding another BGT (my original junk box prototype) to the system but heard no
additional effect. It seems one BGT is enough in my system.

I also tried moving the BGTs around to different locations such as source, preamp, amps, speakers. Again, the sound was the same at all locations, which makes sense to me as the grounds are all connected to form one continuous ground from source to speakers.

Anyway, that's my BGT build and evaluation. YMMV, as they say.
