Thanks for the details.

I was aware that the unit has an input tranny, a sinewave regenerator
and then an output tranny, and when a TT was plugged into it it was
completely isolated from the outside world. I learned that when I was
reviewing the piece and noticed that my digital playack improved when
the unit when regulating my turntable. In my closing remarks, I wrote:

"Same difference. Almost exactly. But wait, there's more. Order now
and you (may) also get incredible digital playback! I did.

??#^*@?? Okay, we all recognize that cleaning up noise in the digital
domain is a useful thing. Now we also know that cleaning up the power
to a motor on a turntable can produce results far beyond what one
might expect. But? But! I found myself fretting. How was it that this
PMC, designed for turntables, made my digital playback sound better? I
was consistently experiencing similar returns in dynamic nuance,
transparency, staging, improved pitch definition and extension in the
bass - plus just plain naturalness when listening -- believe it or
don't -- to cee dees.

Since living in Washington didn't create enough motivational energy to
road-bike my way to Walker's place in Pennsylvania, I elected to surf
over to his web site. He musta seen me coming, because, lo and behold,
he had already attended to the matter - in a manner of speaking. He
sez the PMC 'also prevents electrical noise from the AC drive motor of
the turntable from contaminating the AC power supply of your other
components.'"

I just never thought to try it on the CDP itself. Good for you!

Normal is just a setting on my dryer.
