Test disc - the latest Shelby Lynne (tribute to Dusty) tracks 1,4,5
Ok, took a clear AR RIQ-5010 quartz insulator and placed it on top of the RR-77, noted more vivid snare drum snaps, and more texture from a more reverberant bass guitars. Tried putting below too, but the thickness of the disc lifted up the RR-77 of its feet, still works about the same.
As I wanted to use the top of the RR-77 for "schumanning" CDs now, I preferred the tweaks to be below the RR-77 so that the top is free to place CD. Also as the RIQ-5010 was too thick to be at the bottom, so I took a piece of Acoustic Revive QR-8 quartz resonator which is thumbnail size and just placed it below the RR-77 on the shelf-floor not in contact with the RR-77. Worked about the same as the RIQ-5010. In addition, I also stuck one QR-8 resonator to each end of my long DIY DC cord where the jack insert is (like in the photo). Wow, more details, better clarity and texture to the sound now. So in the end, I used 3 QR-8 to upgrade the performance of the RR-77. How's that, for comparison ;-)
