Best upgrade for cd player?
My recipe is as follows YMMV. Tube preamp for nuance.  For bass and dynamics plug into high current outlet of power conditioner or straight into wall socket.  For more details use 14 gauge or smaller power cord.  
Onzo Zero Dust... Deflated?
The Zero dust comes out of its box like a dead jelly fish so you can clean it.  Maybe you can remove it and get the original shape back.  
Upgrading power cable to AQ Niagara 5000?
Thunder is very similar to Blizzard in my system,  but I'm only feeding source components.  The Tornado improved from bottom to top end over the Thunder and Blizzard. The AQ NRG 10, OTOH seems to jive better with my other AQ NRG 10s hooked to my p... 
Upgrading power cable to AQ Niagara 5000?
I also have a Niagara 5000.  I've used a Thunder, Blizzard, NRG 10, and Tornado so far.  Each cord has a different signature.

Swapped a Thunder HC for a Tornado HC on my Niagara 5000 which powers sources only.  It's better.....please insert all the usual adjectives.

What a sad world we now live in.......
I have three TTs, a tuner, and a CDP.  The CDP gets more use than the others combined.  Long live CDs! 
Turntables
I remember a thread here a few months ago regarding the same phenomenon.  I don't recall the exact thread or details but if memory serves the consensus was pressing error or defects.  If not maybe someone who rembers or knows can chime in... 
AudioQuest Storm series PC's are now 12awg
