Audio Refinement CD Complete Alpha Version


I was wondering if anyone owned one of these. I am considering buying one. They retail for $1000. I have read that the bass is lacking on the older versions of this unit but I don't know about the alpha version. I also read a better power cord makes a big difference. I find this hard to believe however. Any input would be appreciated.

I owned the Alpha version for a couple of months. It was an ok player, smooth operation along with smooth sound but I think it's a bit overpriced. Sold mine for less than $500 if I recall. I actually preferred the sound from my NAD C541i which is still in service. The NAD retailed at half the price.
I also owned the Complete integrated (non-Alpha) which I am sorry I sold. It was an extremely nice piece of gear. I would recommend the integrated amp to anyone looking for a low powered quality amp.
The stock power cord was an 18 gauge unit, looked generic to me. I switched to a 16 gauge power cord but didn't notice a difference
