There is no way that changing the outlet covers will make any difference at all...so to satisfy my curiosity, I bought 3 to accommodate my system. The left Vandersteen 5A is plugged into the left most outlet.... I could not believe what a dramatic change for the better ...remember that only the bass amp is driven by the power cord..how can the mids and highs be changed??...but absolutely yes. OK...the right speaker is plugged into the right most outlet, as is my Ayre power amplifier...a change, but a much smaller change than the left outlet. The last plug is on another wall - that plug is for the Ayre preamp, and Ayre Universal silver disc player... a difference again for the better. What I hear is a major reduction in "sand"... everything is distinct from its instrumental neighbor...I don't hear any difference in timbre...no increase in highs or lows, but a refinement of all frequencies. and the speed of all the frequencies, the stopping and starting is much more instant. Little cymbal taps, words, everything is better. Lows don't bleed into the mids, they are reproduced with far less effort. The greatest difference is from the phonograph (Ortofon Winfeld cartridge)...the soundstage became huge. As I was listening my wife came in from the heirdresser (I can't believe what they charge). As she walked into the house, she said "did you buy new speakers?". It is that different. I have no idea why this works, but it does in my system. |
