Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE?
Pubul5"... it is a sad component that needs that much work to sound SOTA ..."With all due respect, if this were true there would have been no need for EMM to bring out the X upgrade and then the XDS1. Those who are not in the market for these expe... 
Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE?
The object is to get the EMM CDSA SE into the world-class arena. It takes a lot of time and money. The synergy of components, accessories, cables and tweaks in my system has finally got me there. I anticipate further sonic improvement with the add... 
Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE?
Dgad, Our systems are very different. My experience with the EMM CDSA SE was similar to yours -- a softening. But with the various improvements I have made the sound is now very resolving and dynamic. The sound stage is scary realistic. I have ICs... 
Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE?
Hi Dgad, What is your sound stage like -- height, width, depth, sense of "being there" in 3D? 
Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE?
Flashunlock, Thanks but I did not modd my EMM. I don't need to modd it or buy the X upgrade or the XDS1. I am definitely holding onto it. I have achieved what some claim is impossible. I have used Schumann and other resonance devices -- plus other... 
Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE?
Flashunlock, I've already been there and done it. I have no intention of ever selling my EMM. I just want to hear from others -- if they have managed to do the same thing -- and how they did it. 
Anyone use CD tweaks
Opaque blue marker pen twice around the outside and the inside hole of the CD. 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
"Most cables are just for aesthetics"? I wonder if that includes Synergistic Research and Nordost and Tara and Gabriel Gold? 
Emm Labs CDSA 'X' upgrade
Hi Rgs92, I have found the same thing -- the CDSA being VERY sensitive to cables. I agree -- power cables -- and ICs as well. As I mentioned, I have not done the X upgrade but I have completely eliminated the harshness in the highs with my cabling... 
Emm Labs CDSA 'X' upgrade
Rgs92, I have not done the X upgrade. I have the EMM CDSA SE and had the same problem with glare/shrillness. I eliminated the problem by putting ICs and PCs in series and with careful use of Oyaide plugs and IECs. The glare/shrillness does not com... 
Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic
I would be glad to hear from anyone using PCs and ICs in series. I now have 2 PCs in series -- the GG Reflection into the Tesla Plex SE -- on the other end Cryo-Schutered into the SR PR into the SR PowerCell SE with Galileo MPC. I also have 3 XLR ... 
solid state amp for merlin tsm's ?
I am using a Marantz PM-15 (the original 1994 model) with my TSM mmi speakers. The results are extraordinary. It certainly helps to have a very good amp behind the Merlins but it is the synergy of the whole system that tells the sonic story -- not... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Steve, I think I finally got the direction correct. Finally. I have made a lot of changes to my system in the past few months -- swapping cables and playing with tweaks. The GG Reflections -- ICs, PC and SCs -- will definitely not be swapped out. ... 
Emm Labs CDSA 'X' upgrade
Rgs92, you may be able to eliminate the glare by using ICs in series. 
Emm Labs CDSA 'X' upgrade
Rgs2, I can't find your review. Can you please provide the link? Thanks in advance.
