Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment
Shadorne, surely you're not going to let a lousy buck or two for some soft car polish or Rain-X, or whatever, stop you from such a discovery? Take your oldest, worst, disc my friend, and try it. :) 
what do you know"
Ah, I had such a LONG and juicy retort to SO many here. But I don't have all the time to argue with everyone. ;)I will say this: Baroque Lover, it's clear your ego got bruised; no doubt you sound so angry and "on the march". I assert that there ex... 
Your ONE all time favorite love song?
The first dance at our wedding: Jose Feliciano "Lover's Vows" is my favorite for the significance of the lyrics.For the beauty of the sound, I enjoy LeAnn Rimes "I Need You" 
Toyota Camry LE has a Pretty Good Sound System

Little bit "forward" sound - what cables to avoid?

Yay or Nay

Every aspect is critical in a system. That is, if you want great results. :) 
Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment
Shadorne, Say! You have a DAC1 - try it! :) 
Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment
Shadorne, Consider changing the entire set up because a low budget treatment improves sound? Sheesh. You should be an audio salesman. ;)It works the same with transports using external DACS. I have tested it as well with Benchmark DAC1 and Monarch...

Pathos Classic Mk 3 Problem, Please Help
The stock tubes (I think they're Sovtek) are excellent sounding. Just get replacements of the same thing. Tube sellers like Upscale Audio should have them. Buy a pair and put the new pair in. You'll have one for spare. I think in one unit (MkII I ...

In every case where I have tried two lesser quality amps as opposed to one higher quality amp, the single, better quality amp has outperformed the pair. I would recommend finding an outstanding stereo amp. Get one with vastly higher power, and the...
