The new Anniversary will be called Anniversary Gold Spot and at about 2.9mm thick it will be some 100 microns thinner than the existing Anniversary. It will look very much like the existing Anniversary, but with the addition of a Gold Spot. An even more advanced adhesive will also be used. Performance over the existing Anniversary will be much improved, at least as much again as the present Anniversary over the old XLR.
I am now playing with various support ideas utilizing absorbing materials costing from a few to a few tens of euros.
Of course when experimenting with tuning elements there is a risk that there will be no audible effect, but the expenditure is relatively small and it might just result in an upgraded sonic performance at least as significant as changing a cable or even trying a different fundamental component.
The sceptical and risk averse will never know what they might be missing. And heres a final thought: Who would think of buying a car with no shock absorbers ;-)?
