Title: CDRW 700 - leave the power on
Post by: Lil Kim Jong-Il on April 06, 2004, 12:40:48 AM
I have had brightness in my playback system, the source of which has always eluded me.  I found it - the CDRW700.  If you have one of these, I'd recommend leaving it powered up all the time.   The brightness goes away and the soundstage is much more full after 5-6 days.

After two weeks it sounds like a different machine.  I have a Pioneer Elite multi-format player on loan and for CD playback, the CDRW700 sounds very close to the Pioneer that costs 3x as much.  The difference is apparent whether I use the outboard DAC or not and the improvement is not subtle.

Anyone else experience this?  Cheepest upgrade yet.
