Tweaks for EMM CDSA SE ... ?
Sabai--great post. Lots of info I have never seen, especially in terms of the CDSA. Thanks! I am mulling over the X-upgrade idea. So far, I just use Hydra-8 and a Telwire powercord (some more expensive cords slowed the bass or introduced some hype... 
Tweaks for EMM CDSA SE ... ?
Thanks for all that good info Sabai.I can't find the Beaks.That's interesting about the silk cushion.I have not heard about using cloth under a component,but whatever works! 
The Beatles Mono Box Set or The Beatles Stereo???
Get the stereo one. I *LOVE* it. 
Tweaks for EMM CDSA SE ... ?
I don't know if it's a tweak, but I think the sound is better (fuller, more open) using the XLR outputs. The same goes for a DCC2.

What's your favorite lyric from a song?
Life goes on, even after the thrill of Livin' is gone. 
Power conditioner for EMM CDSA ?
Thank you Neville.I have both the CDSA-SE and the CDSD-SE/DCC2-SE stack andfeel the separates are a bit warmer and more forgiving of more recordings than the CDSA. But both have the same great resolution and both dig deep into the truth of the music. 
Why buy older digital gear?
It's interesting that you mention the CAL. I had a CAL Icon II from 1995-98 and I still remember how nice it sounded with my Apogee Stages. But now I'm attached to my EMM, which I think is pretty awesome. 
Why do the new 2009 Beatles CDs sound so good?
I have the Yellow Sub. from a few years back and have listened to it happily several times (really love this album),but the box-set one just is more balanced for me, with no ear-bleeding sounds. And that goes for all the albums, especially the ear...

Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players
Sabai, where did you get the Beaks? I can't find where to buy them online. Thanks. 
Preamp/Headphone Question
The RSA B52 is an outstanding tube headphone amp. Expensive, but worth it. It transforms ordinary headphones into great ones.(Upgraded tubes help, though).Check out the praise on headphone forum sites. 
Why do the new 2009 Beatles CDs sound so good?
Thanks for the comments. I've got the stereo box and it sounds as natural as anything. There is one new song version that is great--Only a Northern Song on Yellow Submarine, which the accompanying booklet says was not remixed from a "faked" stereo... 
Best stereo recievers of the 1970's?
I had the AR receiver for many years. (Acoustic Research).Loved it. Great tuner. 
Tel Wire Cord experiences?
I put a new TelWire standard on my EMM CDSA SEand it is very nice.It seems to produce just the right bit of warmth that complements the EMM but does not mask anything or cause any loss-of-control in the wonderfully tight/transparent EMM bass.I had...
