Here's an update:
My Onkyo surplus cdp went through another extensive makeover in it's psu section. This includes the section that supplies the motor driver and it's controllers. It's too early to do any listening tests but according to my trusted meter, the ripple artifacts throughout the supply section has already improved.
On another happier note:
Remember my Lampungan tube preamp with the blue lighted tube? I got this LED that changes it's color automatically from red, blue, violet, green, etc and guess what, I tried it! Now my tube preamp looks like a Christmas tree! Geez!
I will revert back to my more elegant blue efx before I loose my reputation or my mind!
LOL
More upgrades on my cdp coming soon...
