I have a total of 6 Theta TLCs in two different systems. In one system I have four in series followed by a Monarchy DIP and then an Assemblage UJB-1. The DAC I am using in that system is a Theta Pro Basic IIIA. I would recommend that you do not skimp on digital cables and 75 ohm connectors. I modified one of my first TLCs with 75 ohm BNC connectors and DH Labs D-75 cable. The improvement in sound was as great as adding a TLC. IMHO an even bigger improvement in the quality of sound is when I eliminated the BNC connectors and soldered Illuminati Ohm-Aha 75 ohm cable directly to the circuit boards! The Theta Pro Basic IIIA now sounds fantastic. Soundstage is clear and deep with natural sounding cymbals. Music is very natural sounding, relaxed and transparent.
Cal Audio CL-10 and Theta GenVa - - - TLC?
Looking for opinions as to level of improvement that could be expected by adding a Theta TLC to the above system. I know it is an inexpensive tweak, but do not want to end up with an extra piece of equipment and coax cables if the addition will not make a noticable difference. I have talked with a few people, and get answers ranging from "dramatic" to "maybe slight" improvement. Would appreciate input.
Thanks,
