    That’s great to hear. I have wanted to try one. You need to get our buddy to send you a Norma to compare with.

    Or you can send me the Tri-vista!

    😀 I have heard the Norma many times. It really is a fantastic unit. I would love to hear the tri-vista and the norma side by side.

    Same thing with the rare cd of Jon Butcher Wishes. Needs a boost of bass :) Fantastic album if you can get your hands on it. The LP would probably be cheaper to find.

    I take it back, just the song goodbye saving grace needs a boost. The rest of the cd is fine.

    It is usually mid October. It's hard since Troy's fest is also around the same time. I still want to hit Troy's up sometime as well!

    Upon unboxing you should know within the first 30 seconds if the unit is a keeper, simply based on smell alone.

    The Revelation Audio Labs umbilical cables are in. Just need to burn them in for a bit and take another listen

    You don't need to burn them in to hear the improvement.

    I got the new umbilical cables installed. They do make a difference. Mids pop out even more. Letting them settle in now but I still had to give a listen. Just from past experience, even if a cable is burned in, in a different system they take time to settle in and the sound will slightly change. It could just be my imagination but, that is what I have found out over the years.

    That is for sure. I am letting the Revelation cables settle in a bit but even using the stock power cable, I will say it's not going anywhere. T+A will be up for sale soon.
