You want to improve your sound for very little dough, pick up a set of pods and use them on your cd player. I am using them on all of my gear. Makes a big differnce. Lowers noise, increases dynamics, enhances and deepens soundstage. Presentation is more 3 dimensional and life-like. Cost $5-6 per pod or $20-24 per component. Great perfromance enhancing drug for your system. |
