Nrchy: I agree that other approaches may have laid the groundwork for what was encountered once the Ayre disc was used i.e. it may have had a compounding effect. Given that the system components in this specific case are still breaking in very noticeably, the Ayre may have simply been inserted into the system at a point where the same appr level of audible differences would have taken place had the Purist remained in use. Given that neither of us is familiar with the other ( you with the Ayre and me with the Purist ), it is simply a matter of guessing at this point. I'd be curious to see what the person's take is on the situation that has both discs now. Sean
