Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL?

I wouldn't waste my money, & keep Big Ben away from Big Jerry's Dac. I like to play too, & feel like a Audio Pimp in training lately as I took a Sonic Frontiers Jitterbug in trade not too long ago. It actually degraded the sound of the AL 24 mxl somewhat. The biggest improvements have been tube rolling with Siemens, & a pair of Harmonix Gp-101 Xlr's from the dac to pre. I would give Jerry Ozment a call, as he will not steer you wrong, & answer any questions you may have on his product 203-796-0648. If you order a AL 24 mxl the Balanced Xlr output $500.00 option is a major improvement over single ended, & a more valid upgrade than a non necessary jitter reducer in my opinion. Have Fun!

Yes, it sits atop a piece of 3/8" thick green egde acrylic with AQ big feet below. Any piece of tube gear will appreciate some sort of vibration isolation.

Tabl10s, Stealth Varidig AES/EBU does sound very sweet with the 24mxl. I will however have to 2nd Sutts on the Marigo Labs Apparition 5.7 as being the best Coaxial digital I have tried. My Transport for now that I'm really enjoying is the small scale Northstar 192 top loading transport, which uses the Philips CD Pro 2 drive just as Accustic Arts Drive, MBL, Sim Audio, etc. I needed something that would fit atop my rack with my TT, as I have run out of space. I did want to stay with CEC, but as Parasound dropped the service contract on them on 12/31/04 the Philips CD Pro 2 seemed more rugged for the long haul in my opinion?

Tabl10s, I'm not sure who has, or will pick up the Northern American, & Canadian service contract on them? It was something that I heard directly from 2 different Parasounds service guys in early Dec 04. Left me somewhat worried as to where in the world any CEC product would have to be sent???
