    In the event that you plan to be away from your home for a few days, powering off the CD Player may not be a bad idea. Once fully “broken-in”, please keep in mind that your Andromeda will require several hours of playing time before it reaches its peak performance after you’ve powered it up again.

    For example, when one conductor is carrying a signal of +4 Volts, the other will be carrying a signal of –4 Volts. When these two inverted signals on a balanced line are output from the MOON Andromeda, any noise picked up by the interconnect will be eliminated since a differential circuit amplifies only the difference between these two signals: Noise on a balanced interconnect will be equal on both conductors and therefore not be processed.
