Ok Stanley did the trick. I had bought 2 p24 extensions one was in cmp^2 with caps stuffed here and there and ferrites galore. As reported it sounded good. So in the process of operating on the other p24 cable to have access to the metal .. for soldering I shut the system off and pulled a few of the caps off the p24 in the sys (to solder them on the other p24). When I turned the system back on it sounded dull and grainy and closed down. I missed the caps...even though it was only temporary. Anyway once I fitted the spare p24 with soldered caps and ferrites and put it back in the system I was not prepared for the sq pop. Wow very, very nice! I finally see what you were saying Mark. Sound space bigger, deeper highs quick but integrated with the mids (hard to accomplish imo). And the bass was so much richer,deeper and tuneful. Its one of those things where everything sounds great. I played all my favorites and they never sounded better.A smashing success...thanks again Mark!!!

Hi Theo,
Good too hear you finally got results!
Did you also put a filter on the P4?
Cleaning the power too the P4 will also result in better sound quality.
Cleaning the power of the P4 with this type of filter is very easy.
- Take a P4 extension cable and 1 or 2 ferrites.
- make 4 or 5 turns around the ferrites (as many turns as the length of the P4 extension cable allows)
- put caps before and after the ferrites.
And again you will have a very nice sound quality improvement!!

Yep I did it already...it is a nice improvement. Thanks again.
I'm starting to think that my implementation of the stuffed capacitors into p24 connectors was seriously handicapped from sounding right. There is so much better sound from the soldering that I believe my pushing of the caps into the p24 slots was not making proper contact or intermittent contact at best. Anyway for those who want to try this my recommendation is don't stuff, solder right from the beginning.
Again a big shout out to Mark for this excellent tweak!!
