| SB3 digital mod significant improvement? Let me quote from the Bolder Cables website for you. It is only one of two or three places you can get this mod done, and the only one I have first hand experience with.Short answer is that probably the most important thing to do is clean-up the p... | |
| Wavelength Brick IMHO Opticis is well worth it simply because it provides absolute isolation between computer and DAC - otherwise you have a metal cable connecting the two.As for the Sprocket, I just leave the darn thing plugged in to the wall wart all the time - ... | |
| Wavelength Brick Boy do I love a happy camper!IMHO the Opticis does provide complete isolation from the Mac, and a USB cable does not - I proved this to my satisfaction pre-Brick and owning the Opticis never considered using anything else. I do have a Sprocket bat... | |
| Wavelength Brick All's well that ends well - forget my recommendation for a few aspirin, yeah, dump the PC and live a little =) Shoot, I could have told you that. As an added benefit you will find that iTunes works a whole lot better too!As for tubes, I swapped ou... | |
| Wavelength Brick Hi - suggest you call Gordon in the morning and share your findings - see what he suggests. There is no doubt in my mind that your satisfaction is paramount to him. Meanwhile it sounds as though a few aspirin are in order. Sorry to hear this, | |
| HiFi-Tuning German fuses opinion Hi - this spawned one of the longest threads ever last year - well worth searching the archives for. That said, IMHO this is one of the no brainer upgrades of all times. I have put these in amps, pres and subs. OK, in my sub it was a waste. Everyw... | |
| Wavelength Brick First off, you are going to like this and it is going to work a whole lot better then you ever expected. Be Happy!Be sure to read everything on Gordon's site - a few times if need be - so it all makes sense and feels comfortable. Honestly, if you ... | |
| Wavelength Brick The purists among us felt that the stock power supply was a bit noisier then it might be - you might never even hear it... Take a look at The Socket which is a battery power supply. No point in being too picky since there is nothing else like Opti... | |
| Wavelength Brick You will be very happy with a Mac - and guess what the new ones "play" Windows too - what's not too like? LOLAs for the Opticis - main reason is to provide the highest degree of isolation possible - if you are going to be snooty about it, you will... | |

| Best cables to use for Pass Labs equip I am blown away by my recently acquired Chimera Laboratories Advantage Series II balanced pair which runs from my BAT pre to my Pass Aleph 30. Knocks me out - the cable simply disappeared after about 100 hours.http://www.chimeralabs.com/audio-cabl... | |
| Wavelength Brick OK - in order. Yes, tube rolling means swapping out one tube for another - great phrase, not sure where it came from. Anyhow the premise is that one can vary the sound of a unit by changing the tubes - FWIW Gordon says that because of the way the ... | |
| Wavelength Brick I think you will be pleased, I know that I am. The Brick replaces a fully modded TriVista and does an admirable job of it and then some. It bests all of my modded Squeezeboxes. And of course it works directly with iTunes which is sweet.A couple of... | |
| CD/DVD Modding : Pros & Cons. IMHO and finite experience. First, there is no substitute for common sense...If you want to control costs and get a guaranteed outcome, the best bet is to go with an established "name" modder and mod a unit he already has experience with or has "p... | |
| Options to replace Supratek Chennin Pre amen - the right rectifier tube changes everything on every pre and amp I've owned - not all that many but I am starting to develop an opinion!!! |
