@greg_f . In a review of Alpha Reference mention of "material" added to absord radiated digital noise, nothing complicated.  
Is Bill Thalman man still working on Conrad Johnson's?

@erik_squires . Like to improve my Oppo 205 without any upgrades. Just read about Berkeley as I'm considering dac upgrade ( or Spectral spinner). Still love disc movies on my Sony 4k. Mu metal for transformer 'may' be interesting. I'm just getting... 
TAS. The Absolute Sound?

Stolen property

TAS. The Absolute Sound?
Interesting takes; thanks for the comments. I'm just getting back to music enjoyment and part of my effort for good sound is learning from the various reviewers; and of course my (asylum :)  classmates here at Audiogon and elsewhere. The Wadax "to...
