| Is the Schiit Magnius up to the task ??? Paul McGowan enlightened me about the benefits of XLR some 25 years ago, BUT, the I/Os must be TRUE balanced circuits to enjoy what XLR is capable of. As to only good for long runs: I compared the exact same manufacturer same run of 0.5m to1.0m X... | |

| Will a new Dac improve the sound? @garypick I just came out the other end of what you're asking. I used players as transports, the best was the Pioneer PD65, but it was quite old and the only output was toslink, a low resolution data transfer medium. When it died I replaced it w... | |
| Lector 603 CD player Back in the day ~ 20 years ago, I had a Lector preamp custom ordered with XLR output stage to compliment my all tube system. They commented that it sounded better. Overtime, I eliminated all tubes. Outstanding | |
| Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD mat But, you have to take it in/out with every CD, yes? Check out Machina Dynamica NEW DARK MATTER. It comes as a DIY. Simple cut each square to fit inside the well of the CD tray. Includes double sided adhesive. And it is amazing ~ $50 hth | |
| Subwoofer AFAIK, both WireWorld and Straightwire both sell subwoofer cables | |

| CDs And Green Markers. Please Don’t Laugh. @jasonnewell I have many of Geoffs tweaks, but no, not him | |

| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS I am confident that Ralph's GaN amps will be/are awesome. I just wrote this on another thread: FWIW: My experience with class D goes back to PS audio GCC 250, which I still use in my video system, but in my 2 channel audio Ive had several W4S, Em... | |
| Are you pairing Tube Preamp/Line Stage with Class D Power Amp? FWIW: My experience with class D goes back to PS audio GCC 250, which I still use in my video system, but in my 2 channel audio Ive had several W4S, Emerald Physics 100.2SEs, Audio Alchemy DPA-1 (excellent sound but I need a lot power in my room),... | |
| CDs And Green Markers. Please Don’t Laugh. SNOPES, SERIOUSLY? try your ears | |
| Any tweaks I'm missing? My next tweak is a Core Power Deep Core. Said to go before the PLC, but one guy who came over and saw my Core Power Equi Core said he replaced his with the Deep Core | |
| CDs And Green Markers. Please Don’t Laugh. @mrskeptic The so called science has to do with the laser hitting the pits and bouncing throughout the disc under the label. Greening the edge mostly contained it. I found and tried many treatments. The best IMO is New Dark Matter, which is t... | |
| CDs And Green Markers. Please Don’t Laugh. @buddyboy1 You are correct regarding the non smooth surface, but as I mentioned all RXs oxidize eventually. The issue then is laser scatter. New Dark Matter is by far the best answer once the disc has been properly cleaned |
