Ozzy, Thank you very much for this tweak. Bought several from Lowes Hardware and Wow. Smoother more relaxed sound, without sacrificing detail and even improved overall soundstage a little. Used on iec at power cond. ,both ends of CD power cord , power supply of pre-amp, and iec of phono pre-amp. Also opening and closing your CD tray twice before playing made a significant difference (apparently improves reading of disc).
