Another method to get the sound you are looking for might be to try a REALLY good isolation platform like the Machina Dynamica Promethean. Machina Dynamica
Upgrade or Mod?
I'm currently using a Sony CE775 for SACD. Redbook CD's are being decoded using a Link DAC I w/ Audio Alchemy PS3 power supply.
The rest of the current system:
Stan Warren modified Adcom 5400 amp
Quicksilver tubed linestage
Magnepan MG12's
Kimber PBJ interconnects and 8tc speaker cables
While I like the detail/transparency, I sometimes wish I had a smoother, more laid-back sound (especially in the high frequency range).
Need comments/suggestions on whether I should modify the Link DAC or sell the entire set-up and buy a Rega Planet. The cost will be about the same either way.
