I recently, after reading all the posts debating the various merits of
of CD and LP, went out and bought the latest and greatest budget CD
player, but now have a problem.


I am having difficulty determining how to change the what-see-me-jiggit
that should allow me to tailor the sound to suit the different types of
music I want to play. You know how you can change the cartridge in your
turntable. In the past I had a couple of turntables with different
cartridges mounted in each, and each cartridge had it's strong points
that resulted in them giving more enjoyment on a particular type of
music.


Is there any way to achieve the same result with a CD player. I am not
achieving the same nostalgic satisfaction from the CD player that I
achieved from my old turntables.


Best way is to get a selection of blankets and hang them over the
speakers. Several thicknesses should do what you want - but experiment
with different types of music.



Sadly, this will actually help with many CDs.




The trouble with people like Plowie is they don't seem to be able to hear
just how *blurry* most CDs are.....
