Headquarter audio tuning involves significantly more tuning steps. Only the basics are shown here. The power outlets must be firmly screwed to the chassis.

Thank you Mike for this great tip! I own this product, and it's excellent, but i agree the stock plugs are cheap. I just wish there was a round Furutech plug in the USA.

I have the 156 as well, so am very curious to watch part 2

its only music part, easy to tell loooong burn in time, but then much better staging, timbres, details and staging... lets say, for me very important, for others it depends on their rig quality..cheers Mike

I have the PSM156 along with Puritan power cords.. I hear on forums some people with the Puritan power cords also replace the plastic connectors with Furutech connectors for improved sonic results.

@headquarteraudio5388 7 ай бұрын

yes, but the cable itself is cheap stuff, not built with heart for music, Ultimate is much to expensive, for the price Tubulus Concentus is Audiophile Heaven... Furutech Plugs with big metall bar for fixing the cable are soundkiller. cheers Mike

@@headquarteraudio5388 Thanks for the tips. I found Ultimate too expensive and went for Classic Plus, the silicon dielectric is scientifically better than most cables. If Tubulus power cords are even better, I will consider them in future. I earlier bought Tubulus Argentus to connect my CD transport (CD 9000CDT) to Dac (Teac NT-503) and that really improved the fullness of each note. For now the centrepiece of my system remains the Marantz PM-11S2, according to most experts the best integrated amplifiier Ken Ishiwata ever designed and very difficult to :"upgrade" from once you've had it in your system as the bass and mids are almost unbeatable (to my ears) and with good cabling the treble is more than satisfactory - natural with no "showroom" exaggeration.

Great modification! Is there a reason you choose the none NCF for the schuko sockets? For me the NCF makes the rhodium more natural. :)

Hi, I wanted to keep the modification inexpensive and remove the bottleneck. This worked out because everything I was missing is now there. The mixture makes it just like a good cuvee...cheers Mike

Great mods!! Does Puritan sell the base, or did you get that made somewhere? I haven’t seen that.

Really happy with my 156. I'm thinking of replacing the current sockets on it as you did but with Furutech NCF Rhodium to match the Rhodium connectors on my power cables. Are you still happy with the upgrade?

Great mods thanks for sharing. I just got a 156 and the think I am not linking is the absence of bass weight. It really seems to thin the music out a bunch. Does this have a long break in time or has anyone else noticed this?

@headquarteraudio5388 5 ай бұрын

Hi, break in 14 days, up and downs in SQ, sometimes more precise bass feels like abscence of bass. Maybe change plug position of devices in the 156 .. cheers Mike

ahh, if you use the Puritan cable wich is deliverd with the 156 maybe it is the cause...the Ultimate is better, but for the price not as good as the Tubulus Concentus, please let me know if you are interested in this cable... write me an email...cheers Mike

Cant you just skip the power inlet completely by soldering a power cable directly to the inside of the device. And what is the deal with all the rubber for the sound?

@headquarteraudio5388 7 ай бұрын

You can do that, but you need a good fixing for the cord, because you will brake the Board if you give force by cable to it. Because of that normally it is a forbidden way... rubber to parts and case will kill musicality, timbres and speed/dynamics, music is boring. Cheers Mike
