| External DAC for Sony SCD-777ES I do not have the Superclock. I believe it is two parts. A circuit board and a power supply for the circuit board. Is this a mod I can do myself or do i have to send it in? Does this upgrade only change redbook or also improve SACD? | |
| Using Nagra VPA to drive Soundlabs Thanks. That was what I suspected. | |
| Best battery type for Nagra PL-P Thanks for feedback. My batteries are two years old. If I listen over a weekend, they discharge over the next day or two. If I want to listen to music say a week later, I need to turn on the charger and charge for 15 minutes before turning the pre... | |

| Upgrade 20 years old crossovers I have Etude MP1. They are twenty years plus old and have compared favorably in my opinion to Talon Firebird and Coincident Total Victory. | |
| Help with decision on selling Sony SCD-1 I have a modified SCD-777ES. It is by far the best red book player I have had. I would modify your SCD-1 and you get almost vinyl preformance out of redbook. | |
| Cost effective mods for a Sony SCD-777ES I spoke to a reputable modifier - xxxx last night. Their opinion was, the SCD-777ES is already good (I agree)and the risk that something happens if one ships a heavy player like this back and forth or breaks by age is too large. Obviously, it is n... | |
| Cost effective mods for a Sony SCD-777ES I agree - Tvad. Mine did not have as many Kern mods as the one on sale know. That is OK. There is no doubt in my mind that the transport is excellent. Playing with different DACs can become a new interesting aspect to get the sound right. A friend... | |
| Cost effective mods for a Sony SCD-777ES Wow. Lots of great advice. Thanks everyone. I am Mr. Conservative. I am very nervous to spend - $1,000 and not be able to get it back when I sell it. I think I will buy an external DAC rather than continue to modify it. Mine has Black gate capacit... | |
| Compare Analogue Productions and Classic records Thanks everyone. Two follow-up questions. I have a few Classic Records and Simply Vinyl records I bought on Audiogon that are very dirty. Where can I send to have them cleaned. I have an ET-2 arm. Do I need to change the VTA for every record? Thanks | |
| Which Tone Arm for Oracle Delphi + Grado Ref? I have tried several arms on the Oracle Delphi. My favorite is the Eminent Technology II air bearing arm. Takes a bit of work to set up. Worth the extra work in spades. Good luck. | |
| Who is a big high end cable manufacturer Thanks for the feedback. Let me add some comments. The reason I initiated the discussion is just this - 3 manufacturers of most cable. 1,000's of different flavors - Baskin Robbins has a long way to go!! Impossible to listen to all. Just the manag... | |
| How to Level Eminent Technology Arm Thanks for the input. I understand now. Let me try it. As always, someone on Audiogon knows!!!! | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 I am a bit suspicious of TRL. I asked if they could mod my Sony unit a few months back they said yes that the could mod the single disk SCD-C555ES. They did not know that it is a changer!! I told them and they said 'Yes, we can mod anything". When... | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 Howie, Are you saying that say a mod like SACDmods or Tube Research to my SCD-C555ES will take me very close to the Marantz level? Remember this is $ 600 to $ 700. versus selling it for $ 500 and buying a new Marantz SACD player. I guess spending ... |
