For crying out loud

If you have the option, and you haven't done so, try turning off the display's on your digital gear. I know that I tried this years ago and, discerning no difference, concluded that this was just one of those anal audio things. Well, my system has evolved since then and I accidentally turned off the display on my Modwright Sony. I am now realizing improved definition and detail, voices are more natural, instruments have a more realistic timbre, images are better defined, and everything emerges from a blacker background. I really feel like a nincompoop. Here I am rolling tubes, shifting footers and stuff, and all along, a significant improvement was a push of the button away.

I found the same result and by accident too with my Meridian G08.

Like some of you when I first used my remote to turn the display on and off I thought I heard no difference. So one day I had turned the display off and left it off for several days. I had forgot it really. Then when I turned it back on to see the time remaining it sounded different. Couldn't put my finger on it right away. A few min later I turned the display back off and there is was. A blacker background. Not by a lot mind you. I'll take any slight improvement in my system especially when it cost is the time to push a button.

Me personally I have always liked to see the time remaining of the song playing but I'll take a slight improvement and just press a button when I do want to see the time remaining.
