My update on the effects of clean wave…
As I originally stated I did a big a da boo boo by running clean wave shortly after acquiring my new P5.
So Paul and company of friends here is what has transpired…noticing that my system was sounding too liquidy
some diminished depth of image…I thought ok now I have an idea for how the system was after initial use of my P5. Let me give clean wave a go…gave clean wave a 60 second run …
The difference is the regaining of immediacy, speed, liveliness, depth of image. My favorite go to piece here is :
Vivaldi’s Four Seasons…Neville Marriner directing the Academy of St Martins in the Fields recording on Argo label.
The quickness of the violinist bowing, the rich interplay of strings, the building of the interplay of the musicians instruments, the ebb and flow of subtle nuances, the delicate harpsichord
the overall presentation of soundstage are all markedly improved. To my ears my perception
anyway.
So in my brief time with my P5 I find clean wave does restore (at least for me) pristineness
alacrity and the beauty of my system’s ability to render music. Naturally speaking each one’s
individual system may reflect more or less the same, ymmv.
I can only imagine what it might be like if I had significantly upgraded speakers. Mine were
designed and built with a restricted budget to a mass market by Harman.
