Yeah, I may need to de-assemble the whole stack out of the book shelf , leave it open in the room couple days to do A/B listening, but will do after two weeks when the breaking is OK enough to do the testing, I still keep the 1,5K isolated transformer with old power cables, testing the stack with all its had before having new P3 with all new Pangea power cables, then moving to the new P3 with all new power cables
After two weeks of burn in the new P3 and all the 3 power cables of Pangea AC9-SE mark II and one AC-14SE, one AC9-SE II 2m for the input power cable to the P3, I now can say, the SQ is truly improved, some come earlier ( turntable with iFi phono stage connect to the GCDS ) the other NT-505 DAC for digital streaming is a bit improved later on.
Talking to the sound stage, it is better wide with tighter pass, treble is bit sharper , vocal exposed more grains if the recording or sampling bad, weakness of the recording is more clear to hear if they are in fact bad, but total sound quality is better with soft and sweet if the recording is well mastered. Allan Taylor is now at another level.
The background is more clean and quieter , now I can hear some sonic that not was there before
volume is a bit louder, I have to reduce 2 step down , it is usually at 18-20 to see the details of the recording , now just 17 is quite adequate to hear with rich sounds
Overall , it is a good investment instead of buying something else (upgrade the DAC) as I was thinking before placed the order, so thank you very much @Serhan for telling me be patience while waiting 2 months for the P3 to come, I was almost to drop the purchase and get the money back, moving on others thing because of the covid19 that disrupted the supply chain globally.
I now can hear the singer takes the air during singing, this is not hearing before, so lot of detail coming , may be this coming from clear and rich synergy power of P3 , Pangea power cables and partly thanks to the DAC is also total breaking in.
Songs are now very beautiful.
some adding:
I now can hear the hum while pausing the turntable at 70-85 volume level while it started 40 before, but the hum still very low that you have to move your ears close to the speaker to hear it, this change coming from upgrading with the Pangea turntable phono RCA cable, it was just 100 bucks, but can beat the 10x expensive of other famous name, that was also another good upgrade with less money I did this year.
Again thanks PSA for making the good P3 with reasonable price. I wish the unit should ship with some AC-5 or AC-10 cables as promotion
Congratulations my friend! I am so pleased you are hearing the benefits of your time and money invested in your excellent system.
