Better Sound For Free!


Read about this pearl in Jim Smith's book Get Better Sound:
If you are using a CD player, try turning it off and unplugging it from the wall outlet. Wait for one minute, not any longer. His theory is that this allows the computer in the the CDP to reboot.
I would presume this should also benefit outboard DACs.
I tried it and could tell a difference the first time I did it. Everything sounded better, clearer.
 I do it weekly now, but not detecting any further gains in SQ.
Bottom line: my system sounds better. And it cost nothing.

Speaking of cars, I swear mine drive better after they've been washed.
I have experienced the same thing.
That’s because it’s more aerodynamic. It’s smoother so the laminar flow is better, less micro turbulence so less drag. Just kidding. 😀
Unplugged electronics are among the major causes of domestic fires. Leaving them on also wastes precious energy.
I'd like to know: If your CD player is turned on, is the LASER active or only when you press PLAY? These things are only good for about ten years then must be replaced...
