Who needs it?

I'd make it permanent... what a joke. In fact it's made my mind up, am not bothering posting there again!

Yeah, it's refreshing that different opinions are not shot down / pounced upon.

Where's this then? Can't stand the suspense of not knowing

jerry, I'd warrant that a couple of local regulators added somewhere in most cd players would do more than reclocking- unless they are very old and jittery.

Jerry, didn't you once have an AVI CD player, or is it the Lab series amp I'm thinking of? I have a pic sent by a mate of mine who bought an S2000 CD player new and currently has it in bits awaiting a replacement "pattern" loading gear. I have to say the mother board os beautifully laid out and the power supplies and regulators would do any small amplifier proud I reckon. AVI are different things to different people, but Martin the designer does know a thing or three about digital circuit design and his machines always performed and sounded well, even if the mechanisms and control logic didn't all of the time

An S2000 reference (IIRC) was totally altered in sonics by replacement of a handful of coupling caps and possibly even the output op-amps, which are the ubiquitous and still worthy (if properly supplied and implemented) NE5532 types..

Hi Dave

re: your 1st query - I got banned from a certain other forum for standing up against a witch-hunt.

re: your 2nd query - yep, I love the AVI Lab Series kit. Proper hifi, that. Yes, I've had both the integrated amp and the CD player, and loved them. Also tried a Lab Series pre-amp but found that a bit too tonally stark.
