Hi Duster,

You said "
The Furutech FP-TCS31 is better suited for source components, and even then, the presentation sounds rather soft, not particularly firm sounding for some applications."

You sure were spot on sir. I decided to play around and move some PCs on my system this weekend, I can't believe I didn't try more of what I already had. Took the FP-TCS31 out and used a Flavor 4 on my amp and DAC. Talk about meat on the bones, clarity and slam, it was like a new breath of life came about. The only downside is with both Flavor 4's in place the system can slam but it is not very smooth, a bit rough around the edges.

Keeping the Flavor 4 on the amp and putting the FP-TCS31 regained the smooth sound, female voices so good along with acoustical instruments. Moving to my "torture track for rock" Pink Floyd's Young Lust, my system had all the hit of a wet noodle with the Furutech on the DAC, returning to F4 on the DAC and also still on them amp the system now hits like Babe Ruth, SLAM but rough again!

For now I am keeping the F4 on the amp, and put an old school first gen Audience Power Chord on the DAC, retains most of the slam and smoother than the F4, not a bad sounding combo.

So now I am afraid to get the FP-S55N as I am worried that the shielding my hurt the dynamics.

I am thinking of either the Acoustic Revive or the Nanotech at this point.
Another option I found is there is still a seller here in the US (legit dealer) who has some stock of the Furutech Alpha 3, unshielded in stock.

Any thoughts on these 3?
