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.

If you want to go live in a cave somewhere be my guest. Do you have any idea how much water is wasted every hour? Write your congressman, mayor, whatever.
@geoffkait -  you may be on to something there. Let's see, high ceiling, expansive walls, good acoustics, throw in some bass traps and that cave may be just the thing!


I power of the mains breaker for one minute.  Does the whole house in one fell swoop!
Be careful - not all caves are Audiophile Quality!  

People are selling a bunch of cheap junky caves (many from China) with LowFi sound.

Caves in granite are FAR superior to limestone.  With granite, you can anchor those speakers AND your listening chair into ... well.. solid granite.  No phase modulation distortion there!

Crummy soft limestone and sapstone will allow your speakers to move and smear the damn sound all over.

And sandstone is nearly as bad!
Really sad that willemj has been brainwashed to believe in such a thing.....
