Simple advice you should have, but didn't follow that made a big difference.

For me, it was when I read on some thread recently that, aside from leaving your components on 24/7, the Marantz SACD player takes about a good 3 days to come into it's own. Now that I'm retired and not afraid of something going amiss when away at work, I leave everything on.

I didn't notice much of a difference until a few days or so and my system began to really sing. Yes, I adjusted my speakers to fire directly at my ears (which I've never done due to the harshness) but something more happened and continues to. There's simply more there, there. The sound goes all the way back in a most developed fashion. It seems to extract lots more info but not hype or etch. It just kind of seems more live.

Who would have thought? This one I should have had down pat but I didn't.
What have you looked over that you shouldn't have?

All the best,

I know I put this on another thread but it bears repeating here: if your AC is good, plug that amp (or integrated) directly into the wall. 

I had a different set of ICs and SCs and speakers when I got my PC conditioner and it was for the better. On the advice of another, I went directly into the wall and the improvement was wonderful. I went so far as to completely rearrange my PC situation and kept the conditioner for the ancillaries (TV, cable box, tuner and Blu Ray player) and the integrated and SACD player now go directly into the wall.

The performers are, at times, literally in my room, it is so believable. Again, who would have thought?

All the best,
