Why not just unplug it?


Last weekend after reading about all these modifications done to the digital clocks of CD players I just unpluged the cuicrity. I mean these people were saying it is a 39 cent display so I opened up the player(Musical Concepts modified Magnavox)followed the cable to the middle of a board and just pulled it. The bass dropped 2db and the soundstage widened by 2 feet. I couldn't believe what I was hearing but I even plugged it back in and pulled it mid song(Baby Plays Around/Curtis Stigers) and the same thing happened. unreal.

Yeah John Hillig of Musical Concepts turned me on to the Headphone theory Matralla. Nrchy I don't drop acid anymore it was fun while I did. I saw the universe as it was mean't to be seen. Oh yeah I picked up two sealed copies of Amused to Death last weekend at one of the record haunts I frequent for 30.00 dollars a piece in Pasadena California. I left one for you happy hunting if you can find it.
I pulled the wire that lights the LCD. I also have to assume that there is a memory cuircuit or chip that has been disabled because the repeat button doesn't work or pause. But the door opens and closes and the machine plays when Play is pushed and Stops when stop is pushed. I have to agree with you not to plug the connection back in when you are listening to music too because when I did this the music stopped and the cd disc started spinning like a ninja death star,real fast. I pushed the power button and waited a minute and then pushed play and the music came on. I then unpluged the wire again and it hasn't and it will not be put back in because of the resulting benefits. Also I have been told by a certain person that does mods that if you don't use the headphone option on your player pull the wiriing,its one less set of paths the music has to travel taking it away from the music chain.
Something that may allow me to pull this wire and still allow it to power up is that the Musical Concept mod houses the power supply in it's own structure. The CD player has two power plugs(Cardas) one hardwired into the power supply and one into the original module that harbors the transport and motherboard. I hear what I hear and it's a difinite improvement.
