Greetings everyone,
I watched this CXC mod video:
[wiki= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoxC3st7WQw]%[/wiki]
And following, relocated the two cables and put a book on top to deal with resonance - these changes made a noticeable difference. I intend now to apply the resonance dampening material inside and will solder in a BNC connector. Near the end of the video, Miguel suggests adding a capacitor to the output, but, no details are given. Has anyone any idea what he’s suggesting, where this cap would be installed and what value?
Any and all information appreciated.
Thanks,
John

My advice: If it works, don't touch it.
Miguel says is PhD in Physics(if my poor english don't betray me), however in all he says, is an absolute absence of scientific method, and any electric or physic parameter that with his advices, can improve. I'd like to see any difference in any electrical or physic measure before and after modifications. This is the kind of things that make me hate audiophiles believes. There are only believes, not proves.

Too late, I’m afraid. I moved the two cables and placed a book on top of the player and there was, indeed, a noticeable improvement in the sound quality. I plan to solder in a BNC connector and add in the dampening material; that’ll be it. I have always had sensitive hearing and could quite easily discern the difference, is enough validation for me.
Can you measure the difference?
Can you do a double blind test?
What characteristics of better do you notice?

Manolo, I posted here looking for answers to a very specific question and nothing more, explaining also what I had already done. I am not, however, looking for an argument.
I wrote it, because I have instrument for to perform audio test, and all the modifications like you cite and other more, does not perform any difference noticeable in the audio characteristics. I'm Positivist, always try to perform a scientific method in electronics and audio issues. I always wanted to know is what audiophiles issues are meassurables, and performed under the scientific method, but I haven't found nothing. Sorry if coments have been uncorrect.
