I'm going to set up an audition. Thanks again.

From what I've been told, the algorithms are very sophisticated and the compute phases take a good chunk of horsepower that you would not necessarily want to pay additional for to sit in the Wavelet essentially being computer boards idling, consuming power and generating additional noise, RFI/EMI, etc...24 hours per day so offloaded the processing to separate servers makes a lot of sense acoustically (at least to me).

Let me know if you have any other questions; glad to help!

Zephyr you just got me thinking. Can you confirm which tweeter you are ligning up with. I assumed the rectangular was the tweeter and the smaller AMT was the super tweeter.
Thanks

Good Morning! I was told by Legacy that the best course of action was to aim at the small part of the plate that is vertically between the lower (tweeter) module on the AMT plate and the upper (super-tweeter) module on the AMT plate.

Modified system list,...small but very noticeable update in the cables section (8N!)

Thats a beautiful system! How I wish I had your room space! All nicely and exquisitely put together.

I do feel the sentiment about the "pack, box, move, unpack ... and re-arrange". A real pain, but in the end, when its all over (plus the cleaning), one can really sit back, admire, look happy and enjoy the fruits of the labor ... and music! Cheers!

Thank you very much for your comments. Very grateful to have things as they are in the system and in life...

Well...I took the plunge! As of yesterday, I have DPX (3" thick) dampening plates on my Esoteric P-02 Transport, Cybershaft clock, Isotek EVO3 TITAN (2) and Esoteric A-02 Amp. I have 5 more standing by to be applied to my D-02 DAC, C-02 Preamp, Isotek EVO3 SIGMAS and Legacy Wavelet but I have to disassemble the system and 3 racks to raise levels to make room for these thick plates on top of the remaining units.

With the Adona racks, Composite Audio platforms and heavy duty build quality of the Esoteric and Isotek gear I have, I would have never thought I had much side effect from component vibration from the air or otherwise as the system sounds greats, images extremely well. The Cybershaft, HDPlex and Legacy Wavelet were not a major issue due to the racks and isolation platforms I utilized despite their not being built like tanks like the Esoteric and Isotek gear as my images were very tight, accurate, good staging, musical, etc...

It turns out that set of conclusions is VERY incorrect; the HRS dampening plates provide immediate and very noticeable results in a distinct 'tightening up' of images, better transients and attack and clarity around notes that is particularly noticeable on tenor sax solos, double-bass note plucks/strikes, vocals, etc...

I am grateful to Ivan and others who have tried these plates and put out notes on how much they added to a system. I am very impressed by the bang for the buck ROI aspect of these reasonably priced items. Thank you!!!

Now up to 11 total HRS Damping Plates (5 large silver, 2 large black and 4 medium (3 black, 1 silver) plus Stillpoints Ultra SS with Bases on my Cybershaft clock and Mini SS on my HDPlex power supply. I added the HRS one plate at a time and the results were undeniably. Glad i took the plunge on these!

Also...updated system components, cables, tweaks lists and counts in original post.
