    Addis pads - probably the greatest single upgrade ever…in the world!

    Gave this ago. Addis little circles and little rubbery nipples things on top. Tried them in my study system, which is best suited to this tweak (large book-shelves). WHAT IT DOES: It acts like isolation does. You get less bass. You have to turn the volume up a bit to compensate. Soundstage...

    It IS interesting, isn't it? I jumped on this particular amp about a year ago for £850 ''about the best you'll get at that money'' ... I decided. I think in pure-sonic terms, if you go back another 20 years and buy something 40 years or 50 years old for the same money you'll get more ''amp''...
