How I tamed digital glare.

For months I have been trying to eliminate digital glare in the my system, which showed up most noticably in the upper middle frequency vocal range, especially female vocals. I tamed some by replacing the stock fuse in my dac with HifiTuning Supreme Cu on the sage advice of Chris Van Haus of VH Audio, resulting in a significant improvement in tonal density, detail and clarity. So far, so good. Today I lightly dusted the laser lens in my CEC transport with a microfiber cloth and was astonished to discover a substantial improvement! And the laser lens and drive compartment appeared clean to begin with (in a smoke free environment). I tried cleaning contacts, swapping power cords and interconnects, rolling the tube in my MHDT dac, and so forth, but this simple protocol was more effective than any of those experiments. I suppose results may vary as every system is unique, but for me this simple tweak was revelatory: greater clarity and a signifcant reducton of hash. Wish I had thought of tt in the beginning; it would have saved me considerable time and frustration.

kosst_amojan"Hi foggy, Your post above will be disappearing shortly, but I'll respond to it. "

That is so funny there is a pattern hear becoming apparent, evident, and obvious you have my post deleted but then feel free to post a response to my post creating an echo chamber where you talk to yourself! This makes you a powerful, influential, and authoritative person in the world of hi-fi congratulations!

kosst_amojanSorry, foggy, but I can't take all the credit for your posts getting punted. You showed up and made brutally repugnant statements that lowered your level of respect tremendously, and then you chose to attack people left and right.  

Brutally repugant? I think you are being overdramatic and acting overimportant, self-righteous and boorish you've become as big a boil on this site you don't even know what you're talking about what a moron! If I'm so repugnant you can alert the moderators and have me booted permanently, silly "little fella."

kosst_amojan" the data stream should be the same for any given CD every single time it's played regardless of the operating conditions"

What you are claiming here is the compact disk audio is always absolutely perfect everytime  but of course in the real world where most of us live outside of the trailer park that is not how things work and telling us "You don't seem to understand the nature of digital data on a CD" is not an argument in favor of your flawed assertion.

This is actually quite interesting a situation that every single one of my posts hear have been deleted while the rest of you continue to attack me without allowing me to respond you have told me everything you think about me except how often you think I should go to church! It is amazing that in the country that supposedly prides itself on Free Speech and the First Amendment you are so quick to delete, eliminate, and forbid anyone to defend themselves you have created an ECHO CHAMBER so that only you're thoughts are allowed and this is why so many people think America is beyond help good luck with you're closed, elitist, self-righteous group where only those who agree with you, look like you, and speak like you are allowed! I am sure this post will also be deleted because it will offend those who like echo chambers are afraid and disgusted by those who do not agree with them! Family Values! Love your children! Don't tell me to love it or leave it because you could not pay me to live in your oppressed nation.

kosst_amojan"I'm flagging your post and I'm sure it'll be gone shortly. If your stereo is the thing you're most proud of in this world, you really missed out"
You are a very sad unfortunate person and you should leave your family values advise somewhere else I don't come hear to be preached to by the trailer park likes of you or  brag about my children and find it pathetic that you do it's you're problem if that troubles you and if you have this post deleted, I'll do the same to your bragging.

Maybe you guys should start a mommy and daddy thread instead of hijacking this thread or maybe you need a mommy and daddy forum just for yourselfs!
