Lately I've noticed my system wasn't sounding so great and found my CC2 was accidently turned off. Once I secured the power cord, turning on the unit, I happily noticed how much more vivid, dimensional, and natural everything sounded.

After installing your CC1, I often catch myself thinking that I listen to 88.2 when in reality it is 44.1. Their difference used to be much larger, and both sound much better now.
