I reread that same article today and also order the XL-10D.  However,, I
was not as foturnate as you and they had already sold out the curent
shipment.  The saleman indicated that had sold over 350.  I have to wait
until the next shipment.  From your comments it seems this really will
make a difference.
I also order one of the new AudioPrisms CD Blacklight Matt at the same
time.  From the reviews, this also seems to be quite the tweak.  Have
you given this a try?
One last thing is have you seen the new Legacy Audio Web page at
legacy-audio.com?  When it is fully functional, it will be a good place
to stay up to date with what they are doing.
