Read this about my cd player...
Some advice

While sturdly built,
the Paganini benefits from using Vibrapods
or equivalent damping feet. The sound becomes fuller and more
powerful, the bass firmer and the pace a bit faster. The same happens
with a good AC cord, with which the Paganini earns some deeper
frequencies too.
In few words: damping feet and AC cord are
strongly recommended if not mandatory.
Then leave the Paganini
permanently ON, at least in stand-by mode.
Do not use dark
interconnects or your amp will need a treble tone control.

Looking for an
upgrade? The Paganini transport is way better than its DAC, imho. So
an easy upgrade, if you already have a Paganini, would be a better
external DAC. Having tested the transport separately I can assure you
this section of the Paganini is capable of excellent musical
perfomances, sounding precise, accurate and very fast. No wonder the
same transport has been used into the expensive Audio Analogue
Maestro CD player.

Might have to try the old paganini through the old Dacmagic ! you never know !!!!!!!!

Whats a "dark interconnect" you think ???

my guess is a "dark" tonal balance, ie. bassy.
