The Musical Fidelity X-10D is an even order harmonic distortion generator, hence the "warm" and "rich" tubey sound. If i can recall correctly, distortion was somewhere around 10% when run through one of these devices.
Rather than investing in a device of this nature, try working out the problems in your system. Otherwise, your trying to stop the bleeding of a gaping wound by filling it with sand. Sure, the bleeding will stop but you've got a festering sore that simply won't get any better on its' own. Sean
