Unplug the black box.Sure as heck powered off the device made the system sound worse. Powered on it sounded just as good as it did with the black box unplugged.
I actually heard improvements with the intelligent chip. However when I attempted to objectively prove my conclusion I proved my self wrong. However the disks I chose as being the treated disks (but weren't) still sound better to this day. And amazingly the treated disks sound better too!
Another one - a CD comparison where when I inserted a new much more costly CDP into my system it sounded much much better. I was about ready to pop for the new CDP when I decided to give the old one a listen and found it sounded almost as good. I passed on the purchase. From this though I discovered I can upgrade my CDP a couple of times a year just be disconnecting and reconnecting the interconnects.
One time I spent more than a grand on a half-meter interconnect because it sounded best. Yes it sounded much much better than any other interconnect I tried. To bad when I dumped my speakers this wire between my amp and pre amp became worse than the low cost interconnects (kimber pbj) I had laying around.
And I've said this a 100 times or more - only a fool believes spending more money means better stereo - in fact often it can mean worse. On the other hand better stereo does cost more and there's an application for even the most expensive of equipment.
