I’ve had amazing results with my SGCD over the last 2 year - and even recommended the auto-mute feature when the Vol is turned down to Zero.
Sometime last month, we had a power surge/outage, and I had to reset some settings. One I didn’t realize changed was the Display Timeout - for the last month it is set to Auto, and I recently realized the Vol number are ALWAYS ON.
Now I realize there is BURN IN from my typical Tv/Netflix listening levels.
I have a Sprout100 with Martin Logan 35XT’s as my 2nd system in my den (near field desktop). It is getting a LOT of use these days. It really makes me appreciate the sonic qualities of the little Sprout. Enjoy!
