One thing I missed, the Silencer did perform very very well with my AMR Dac initially, but when I replaced the stock output caps with the Duelund VSF Blacks the Silencer became a very big detractor to the AMR's sound. I never came to a definitive ...

I have heard that your turntable is one incredibly built machine and built to extreme tolerances. I found that the Halcyonics (Accurion) had the same effect on all the gear I mentiong above except for the Ayon, and that is a truncation of the deca...

Hi Peterayer: Thank you :)I know that Chris built a plinth that was modeled after the original MK3 plinth the SH10-B5 which is a design that has been around for about +30 years, but I do not have that design. I have the NG design and I do not beli...

To clarify, "Take 5" is one of the cuts on the "Meet Me in London" album. I ordered the vinyl and downloaded the excellent 24/192 digital copy. Once I have the album I will of course compare the analog and digital versions of "Take 5". I will also...

I have just (I am sure I am late to the party) discovered the Naim Label recording "Meet Me in London" with Antonio Facione and Sabina Scuibba. If you don't have this album, you need to get it. I ordered it from the Naim Label site but in the inte...

Downunder; no doubt you are correct. I was trying to make sure people were aware of what was actually involved with the Krebs Mod and it sort of took on a life of its own. People like you are the EXACT reason I wanted this information to be out th...

Sonofjim, I sort of agree with you and have basically said as much. Not that you accused me of saying the MK3 was perfect but since I started this diatribe; I don't believe that the MK3 is perfect, BUT I will say they got closer than most. My conc...

I have the 1985 review on this table as well as the original MK3 Service Manual; the MK 3 is one of the most Stable Accurate Tables in the world even by todays standard so I would say the speed measuring system was always world class/leading. Eith... 
DAC help For my tube rig
My suggestion would be the AMR DP 777, soon to be upgradeable to the DP 777 SE. Been through more dacs than I can name; most and I do mean most of which are nothing more than the base schematic given with the chip chosen from the factory. Combine ...
