Opposite effect with cardas/Ayre CD


Hi
After hearing about it too many times i decided to give it a try.Ran the whole CD at moderate level and had the opposite effect.The system sounds gritty now,all synergy and enjoyment is lost.If anybody there had a similar experience,please let me know.I don't want to sound like a lepper here but i trully sat down to listen with some sort of positive thinking.The change in sound is unmistakable but not for the good.Hope to hear from you guys.

I took a look at the writeup on this cd at the Music Direct site. I strongly suspect its main effects (perhaps its only effects) would have been on the flexibility of your speaker drivers. That will in time return to where it was, although it's hard to say how long it will take.

The other claimed effects of the cd, such as demagnetization of cables and components, strike me as marketing gibberish, which I wouldn't worry about.

Considering the low cost, though, you might want to just keep it, because it might prove helpful in breaking in new components in the future.
