Anyone tried this? Does it work and to what extent? Thanks.

Yes I recently got one used.there are some real bargains on these.These units are very well built former class a sterephile retailed for $1895.When I first added to my system I put on one of the Hendrix remasters.To give you a comparison I also have the same Hendrix LP's. On the LP you can clearly hear the background tape hiss and other production noises that are almost hallmarks of any of his recordings.The remaster CD's are quieter almost to a fault.The enherent noise is what gives these recordings thier character.Anyway I popped in Electric Ladyland and started up Voodoo Chile and was immediatly struck by the presence of the guitar.For the first time on CD I could clearly hear that amp humming,that wah wah simmering,fantastic in a word.I got the same results with any CD I tried.You get a sense that you can hear much further into the recording.Highly recommended
Hey Carl and sfbay I do have the MCA rem lp's and I agree 1000% they put the same cd's to shame.Thats exactly why I used the comparison as an example of what the Genesis unit can do for CD playback.SFbay it's the MCA Hendrix family authorized remasters.Thev'e been around for awile and are readily available at your local store and by the way they are quite good.Hey I 'm an SRV fan myself check out the now OOP Mobile Fidelity Sky Is Crying Gold disc or the equally fantastic Couldn't Stand The Weather on the Sony classic gold disc.
