Not counting buying a turntable or going SACD, what tips , tweaks or products have you had success with , that lessens the harshness of the cd format? Thanks!
Just to reinforce to other goners, after exteneded "Friday night turn up the volume listening" the difference moving all your powercords away from the interconnects is staggering ! Detail, layering of instruments, Im on a HIfi High ! Thanks again
All Good thoughts. Im going to digest them all, but my first experiment is to make sure all powercords have as little as possible contact with the Interconnects. I have had different results placing my equipment in different places of my rack. not only with harshness , but also with dynamics etc. At first I thought it was my pre too close to my amp. But maybe its the way my interconnects and power cords are intersecting . Im running a Technics DVDA-10 as a transport into an Integra Research RDC-7, on to a Classe 301 amp then into Legacy Signature III speakers . I have a VD nite on the Integra , dedicated lines and a Tice powerblock HP C. I had it all "sweet" before, except a 3 meter pair of balanced interconnects was picking up a hum {drapped behind my rear projection Televison} Now I have a 1 meter pair of Stealth PGS as I have moved the Classe back over to the other side closer to the pre. Im going to go to another set up putting the pre all the way at the top so all Pc's in my system will not touch any interconnects. But I certainly will take all suggestions into account. keep coming with the idea's . thanks !
The Nasties are gone. I had the thought , but Viggen cemented it in my head. I moved all the power cords away from the interconnects, and the detail has returned ! If you think about it, most equipment has the PC inlet on the left, so if your installing dedicated lines , have those off to the left so you do not run your PC.s crossing your interonnects. Im still going to try some of the tweaks though, some sound very interesting, Thanks to all !
