Any thoughts on the CD "trimmer"
the black marker technique is not necessarily a good thing. Certainly a difference can be heard when playing a 'blacklined' disc vs. not lined. I didn't believe it either, but I actually tried it before posting opines that it simply cannot work; i...

The best power conditioner for less than $1K?
Hi Paul: I'm in agreement with the aforementioned as being good tweak suggestions, only some of which may achieve your 'warm analog-like' tuning objective. A decent PLC is a necessity IMO; provides reduced glare, and also provides AC line-transien...
