Yes, Ron, you didn’t read wrong. Unfortunately, the Sortz can be paid for well. But they make a positive difference compared to other manufacturers I’ve tried. I wouldn’t have thought of it either, but when I saw a retailer offering a 50% discount, I took a chance. I can’t resist good offers. :joy:

From the looks of it, it already has connections for every format.

Looking forward for your review to see if this thing is worth the asking price.

My upgrade today is my mindset, simply listening to music and enjoying my system as it is.

As I’ve moved up the chain in Pass Labs’ component line, the benefits were in every case real, honest, wonderful and worth the scratch.
So it is with the Audience cables that I use.
About an hour ago I replaced my Front Row power cable with their newest ā€œReserveā€ pc going into the line stage preamp.
A power cable… Significant improvements in image placement, definition, dimensionality, timbre, right-in-the-room presentation, dynamics, room reverberation, usefulness of previously less obvious low level detail.
I’ll wait a week and then let you know what I really think.

You got yours before I will get mine, though I’m getting interconnect.
Congrats!!

Ansuz Sortz well received but I came back too late because of work. I didn’t want to take the risk of waking my children… Tomorrow I’ll do a listening!

I also have ICs but won’t try them until I’m satisfied that I know about the PC

You have more patience than me.
I would try the power cable for an hour, then remove the new power cable and put the interconnect in for 30 minutes, then add the power cable again with the new interconnect. If I like what I hear, would burn both in at the same time and never think twice.

Alas, Grasshopper, you must learn to be patient. With age comes wisdom…and gas.
