First the question, "How do you know it was an actual improvement?" Remember, I've got the two decks, one that's bidirectional and will play large reels, the other for my collection of Dolbyized R-R tapes. But when they're both playing standard 7" non-Dolby reels, they always sounded pretty much identical to my ears. So I did the big one (X-1000R), not really expecting much because, in part, I was not doing the full job but using the IEC pigtail approach. I was absolutely floored by the improvement and it WAS an improvement as easily distinguished by playing the same tape on the "before" and "after" deck.
By the same kind of comparison testing, I found that running the decks into a PS Audio P300 line conditioner/regenerator -- this was years ago -- was a marked improvement over straight-into-the-wall. And by the same token, upgrading the AC cord into and from the PS Audio made a positive difference. I never do a change without comparing the before-and-after until I'm sure that it's not JUST a change but an actual improvement.
