i just couldn't visualize ANY improvement except the same placebo effect that the gullible THINK they perceive after tossing money at RIDICULOUS junk like CD & vinyl demagnetizers.
i'm not knocking KABs OTHER mods. tonearms? ABSOLUTELY can be improved. tonearm wiring? maybe a SLIGHT improvement... platters & mats? sure! those can affect sound, but making motors happy? nope? i just don't see any benefits despite reviewer claims and i DON'T trust reviewers after wasting money on lousy mission & energy minis that DID have better drivers than my NHTs, but that ruined any gains with unacceptable flimsy cabinets! "giant killers" my furry exit.
i'd even stick with my former superzeros over NHT's much raved about $800-$1,000 classics which do so much that is awesome, but ruin it all with an annoying aluminum signature. superzeros aren't the most resolving speakers in the world, but they commit absolutely NO resonance sins... ports, cabinets OR drivers.
power supply mods for DACs & amps? oh yeah! those make sense!
