RE: As you've discovered, the placebo effect doesn't explain what you're hearing.

Hi Paul
When you say an increase in soundstage, do you hear this in width or depth? I only ask because it seems like my soundstage width is more or less the same, but I hear much more of the recording venue with decay, etc., giving the impression the performer is sitting about 10 feet behind the wall in the front of my listening room. I'm not sure yet whether I like this effect and I'm wondering if perhaps the spots I picked have overdone it. Also, did you notice an apparent decrease in volume when you used topaz? It seems that the quiet passages are much quieter than I remember, yet the loud passages are about the same volume as before. All in all, it's fascinating, but kind of strange.
Thanks so much again
Chris
