Hi Jack and Mullard. Reference Recordings co-developed HCDC, which my system convulses over. Anything that purports to, "improve CDs," has me running the other way. I do see Nojima plays Ravel listed as a 16 bit CD. I will get that. I don't see La Campanella there. I don't do vinyl. Given how stellar Reference Recordings CDs are on my system, I am going to be their best customer, for straight 16 bit, that is.
I looked up Arcici. You are using their air pad? I devised something that completely negates all vibration. I have to do that, because this 100 year old house vibrates with the music. The suspended wood floor bounces. My player sits on top of a piece of Mission style furniture I had made for my audio. This is a worst case scenario. My granite tile sits on a, "Gee, why didn't I think of that," padding. I can drive music to extreme loudness.
