| Reference Transports: An overall perspective Alex/Aplhifi,Thanks for providing some corrections & more info on the VRDS-NEO transports. I also believe that NEO is used as a dual purpose: one, as in NEO = new & second, because TEAC uses NEOdymium magnets now.IMHO, Lktanx posts, your p... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective Jordan/Germanboxers,it appears that you have not spent much time in thinking about the CD transport stuff. When you write your posts, you seem to be writing ex-tempo & there does not seem to be much depth. you are also blowing the importance o... | |

| Small form factor, budget DACs? Undertow,As I understand it, when mods are done that EXCLUDE the clock mod, the modifications are (1) improving the power supplies - digital & analog, (2) upgrading coupling capacitors, (3) improving the rise & fall times of the digital ou... | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? Gmood1,I think that we have been agreeing on almost everything all along & just didn't read close enough to recognize that.I think that re-stating what my hypothesis could have helped clear the air a bit - I was/am looking for the dominant cau... | |

| Small form factor, budget DACs? Gmood1,yes, 10K input imp of the next stage vs. the driving stage is not written in stone. Usually the rule of thumb is 5X-8X. However, I've found that is not high enough & that 10X works 99% of the time successfully.OK, from your 2nd lengthie... | |
