| Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter Mattheus, unless AA did something radically different in the new transport there is no reason to leave a cd in it when you are not playing it. I never do, I just leave the puck/clamp off the spindle and close the top. Do you have any idea if the n... | |
