Thanks, Rick. Yes the results are what they are - and in a way I'm glad. Bear in mind these are the results for the analogue outputs, so only apply to anyone using those. If I was using the analogue outputs, I would be applying all mods except vol100 (pointless) and screen-off. The whole point of ADM (lost on most people, it would seem) is not to measure anything in any conventional sense... like distortion or frequency response. It's purely about asking the question "was there a change/difference?" I believe it originated from a desire to test out claims such as green cd pens (and more recently, cryogenic freezing, regrinding etc). The irony is that ADM struggles somewhat with mechanical replay systems (CD, Vinyl, Tape) because they don't produce exactly the same output each time - whereas, it works very well with hard disk playback! -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
