Also, if you're using a universal player there may be a crossover frequency setting in the player itself that you should be aware of. I just bought a Marantz SA8003 CD/SACD player and the improvement of the DAC over the one in my Yamaha RX-V663 is substancial. Marantz also recomends turning OFF the digital output if you're not going to use it.
Pronunciation of the word Cathodic. Cathodic protection (CP) is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell. A simple method of protection connects the metal to be protected to a more easily corroded sacrificial metal to act as the anode.
Diagram of a copper cathode in a galvanic cell (e.g., a battery). A positive current i flows out of the cathode. A cathode is the electrode from which a conventional current leaves a polarized electrical device. (This definition can be recalled by using the mnemonic CCD for cathode current departs.) A conventional current describes the direction in which positive electronic charges move.
