My friend just installed a new clock, rectifier diodes and WBT nextgen copper rca's on my Lector Mk 1.
Wow
What a nice difference. Black background, very clean and quiet, super analogue, super musical. The Lector didn't have much digital noise to begin with,it always had a fat analogue sound, it just took its true nature to come out even more. Very open and smooth and refined. The toe has no choice but to tap.
It seems to suck you in more, or rather draw you in and make you want to listen more
Clock was $ 45,,, WBT's $85, diodes $3 each (12).
Very much worth it! Just took the nature of the cd player and enhanced it, didn't change it.
Sowter Dac transformers will be here in about 6 weeks...will let you know what that does!!
Pretty amazing the shitty level of components they put in even expensive players, I wish they would spend less on chassis and lights and bling and concentrate on design, implementation, and quality parts.
We would all be much happier!
