I recently purchased the Rotel cd11 Tribute player. It sounded ok but nothing special, that is until I swapped out the supplied 18 gauge power cord for another generic 14 gauge cord. I’ve not experienced any component that was so completely improved in every sonic measure by simply changing the power cord.
If you own a cd11, I recommend replacing the power cord. At some point in the future I may try an aftermarket cord but for now I’m pleased with the results.
