why do cd players "sometimes" not read a disc?
Thanks Jafant. I have been pleased with its sound; but I found it benefited "dramatically" with ac isolation and conditioning.I found conditioning and isolating the ac provided a quite remarkable transformation.It makes me very curious about what ... 
cd player not reading a disc? Laser dirty?
It is erratic. Sometimes not the one in the disc; then may not play another I have played recently. I may move the disc in the tray and it may play after 1 or 2 attempts; or I may put in another disc and it plays. Only happens with CD's not DVD's....

Did you try the Burmester 948 before the balanced transformer?I understand Differential noise can extend well beyond the limits of the balanced unit. 
keeping amps cool?
Cool is not to change the sound. It's o extend the operating life of the caps and perhaps the whole amp. Heat kills. Specifically I enjoy a Spectral DMA 180 and am happy with the sound-so would like to keep it a long time; without having to ship i... 
No more big power supplies for preamps

New Sony Hi Res Coming This Fall
