Morrow Audio Cables Feedback
Running Ma3 rca cables and SP4 biwire currently. I had a Mac 6900 when I had pretty much all Acoustic Zen wire and tried some Morrow SP3. The improvement was substantial across the musical spectrum. I no longer have the Mac but haven't tried any c...

Looking to hear from Thor owners
It is all about matching components and set up. What are you using for cables? What kind of music do you listen to? A great system can sound less than ideal set up improperly in the room too.

Mcpherson,I haven't heard the sony 5400 modded or otherwise. I have had several of Modwright's cdp's over the years and his products are always outstanding. I don't see how you could go wrong either way. I am using the logitec transport almost exc...

Mccormack DNA-1 describe the sound characteristics
Are you leaving the amp on all of the time? I have a DNA 05 and although I never found it to be anything other than very balanced and enjoyable the sound definately improves after a few days of being left on. I would also try using jumpers on your...

Anyone use CD tweaks
I have used various products and potions as well as mats. My best and FREE tweak is all I do now. Wash the cd with a little (very little) liquid soap and rinse well with water. I work the soap in with my fingers and rinse. Dry with a cheap paper t... 
CD player vibration from CD's
I recieved this answer from a tech that has worked on my stuff. You're right the Oppo drive does vibrate a lot and it's normal. The Oppo drive spins the disc 200x faster then the Ikemi did. The older style plain CD drives were not high speed compu... 
CD player vibration from CD's
Thanks for the responses.Elezabeth, I don't think it is warped. I have an aftermarket stabilizer disk and it lays perfectly flat on the CD in question. It also has no noticable effect on the vibration.Mjglo, I don't currently have another player i...
