Maril,I notice in your pic that the table sits close in from of on of the speakers. That may be a challenging location unless the floor in your listening room is extremely rigid, like a concrete foundation or such and same true for your stand.If y... 
CD has laid back and uninvolving sound
Dazzdax,You have good stuff so its surprising to me.I'm assuming your CD is working properly as designed.First I'd like to know more about the rest of your system: amp, speakers, ICs, etc.I think a common problem with CD playback is that often the...
