First off, I should say that the service that I received for my order from Bill was first rate. Bill was very quick to reply to my emails and kindly marked where I should put the eigth nerve products on the photos of my room that I had sent.
Upon Bill's recommendation I ordered 7 corners and 2 Seam packs. They arrived to HK from NY in a few days and were neatly packed.
The seams were lighter and thinner than I had expected. This meant that they were easy to place on the walls with some velcro. However, their size made me wonder....hmmmm....is this going to really improve my sound?
Well, after spending some time putting them up, I sat down for the big test.
The improvements were subtle yet noticeable. Firstly, the voices sounded more natural and clear - more "in the room" to borrow the audiophile babble. Second, there was more detail to the music. I was noticing little instruments that I didn't notice before on a few of my CDs. Thirdly, there seemed to be more "ambience" and air to the music. I played a favourite piano piece and noticed that each key had a definitive decay that I didn't notice before. Lastly, but perhaps most significanty, my soundstage has widened. The left side of my soundstage was always compressed as I live in an L shped room, but now the left and right feel more balanced. This is something which I could not fix with a component change.
All in all, for US$500, I believe the eight nerve products are definitely worthy of consideration.
