Why does most new music suck?
Mapman, love the Muse tune...all the "classic" rock elements. Toddnkaya, I have also gone down the alt country, folk path for some really good finds. Ben Howard is also on my "doesn't suck" list. Very talented! 
Why does most new music suck?
I think I have read every post on this thread and I must say that the conversation has been very interesting. Yes I am what many consider an old foggy (60) and I started playing music at 8 years old (fiddle), then guitars, then I found girls and c...

Frogman,Hmmm....compressed sound, poor lyrics and electronic drivel = pop music that sucks. Thanks for the Smithonian post. 
Why does most new music suck?
After reading the posts a couple of thoughts come to mind. During my youth there was also Rock/Pop music that I didn't like but I would always have my go to groups. It seems like there was lot more "go to" groups. I also think that I am less tolar...

Looking to Upgrade my CDP
You may also consider one of the used Modwright players that can be found in your price range. I am currently using the Sony ES5400 modded player and it suits me just fine. The Oppo mods are also very good. 
Popping sound in right speaker
I would also say it's a bad tube. I had almost the exact same happen to me and it was a bad preamp tube that was brand new. 
Clear Day cables vs. Morrow Audio Cables

Modwright Oppo 105
Jfz I have the Modwright Sony 5400 and am using the Sophia tubes in the player and the Create Audio 5AR4 in the power supply. I replaced a RCA (Mullard) with the Create tube in the power supplay and like it a little better than the RCA. I have use...

Help with ringing bass from Dynaudio C1
Since it is the room you will need to try moving the speakers around. I would expect there is node that is getting excited. Have you tried any corner bass traps or acoustic treatments? Where the corners meet is where bass build up can happen. 
NOLA KO
