So I made a big upgrade so my house can get much more current into the house. I don´t want limitations in current if it can restrain my sound.

A new box by the street gets mi 50% more power if needed into my house. That will be enought.



What's the music effect. I did not know what to expect and it's not easy to make an AB test.
What I can be sure of is that it's not worse. I maybe imagine, but think it sounds great and I think it's better than before. I sense more airiness, very fast transient response and over all control att the same time a nice relaxed delivered music experiance.

Is this posible?
Carl, you are going the extra mile with your power. I think this is a very good idea.

Best

Charles
