| How was the sound of your TDSS upgrade to your Nuforce Ref 9 amps? Scott,I had Bob do the most extensive level 3 upgrade as it would also make the amps much more reliable in addition to the improved sound. Everyone that has had Bob at TDSS upgrade their amps has been very impressed with the sound afterwards. Comp... | |
| How was the sound of your TDSS upgrade to your Nuforce Ref 9 amps? Now 3 weeks of mostly continuous 24/7 play. I've turned it off and back on twice in that time. The amps have 350-400 hours of break-in with music playing. The sound is very beautiful, more transparent, and the bass is extremely clear and dynami... | |
| Higher end value cables Having had quite a few of the recommended cables mentioned so far, Darwin cables were the first interconnect that were considerably better sounding in all ways than Morrow MA-3 & 4, Crimson, DNM, Kimber PBJ, Magnan Type 2, Signal Cable to na... | |
| How was the sound of your TDSS upgrade to your Nuforce Ref 9 amps? Just got my Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE's with TDSS level 3 upgrades back. On first listen, the sound is now better in all aspects. Hearing many sounds I couldn't hear as well or at all previously. Very dynamic, lucid, and beautiful sound on CDs so far... | |
| How was the sound of your TDSS upgrade to your Nuforce Ref 9 amps? Thanks Raymond, I'm looking forward to what's in store with Bob's mods. It should be great. Bob says they will be like having a 600 watt per channel amp driving speakers that really like power, especially in the bass. He also says the amps will... | |
| How was the sound of your TDSS upgrade to your Nuforce Ref 9 amps? Hi Scott, I'll let you know soon. Bob just got my amps today. I talked with him for quite a while before leaving. | |
| Has anyone tried the Star Sound trans mod with their TRL DUDE preamp? roxy54,Let me know what you think when it's done. I've already done this with at the power supply of my Modwright 5400 CD and an Edge M6 amp I used to own. With both, the result was like I spent double on the components for almost no work. | |
| Anyone tried an Audio Magic Pulse Gen ZX in their TRL DUDE preamp? Oh, I forgot. Just ordered 5 SR Blue fuses for my MW CD, Whest phono, and Nuforce amps. I've never put any after market fuses anywhere up 'til now--been waiting and reading to see if anyone's having any problems with blowing fuses at all. Seems... | |
| Anyone tried an Audio Magic Pulse Gen ZX in their TRL DUDE preamp? Hey brownsfan & grannyring,I finally put the Pulse Gen ZX into my Modwright 5400 yesterday. Yes, I know I've had it for 10 months sitting in my room. Been making a few slight voicing changes with wiring and came up with an awesome combo usin... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Update!!! There has just been a pair of VMPS RM30 ribbon speakers put on VMPS website of Audio Circle for $1000 used and in good shape a few minutes ago. The guy's wife didn't like them so much as he did. This pair retailed for over $5000 ne... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Modwright KWI-200 integrated amp. Can also get a phono section in the amp at extra cost. Modwright stuff sounds very good and the 200 watts per channel will drive most any speaker. You're out west so if you have no major reservations about buyi... | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? I had a Quad 405 amp that I 8 years later had the Mod Squad do their mod to it for 27 years of continual use. A Kenwood KD-500 TT w/ Grace 707 arm for 21 years until the TT started having troubles keeping the correct speed. Had Von Schweikert's ... | |
| Vibration Issues / Turntable Decisions hifiron, I had a similar problem in one house I owned. We added 2 ft. of space to the depth of the room when building and the floor became a semi-trampoline. The room was now 20' wide and 16" deep. The joists ran from front to back so they... | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy I'd go for the Cerious Technology Graphene Extreme SCs, Teo GC ICs on both the CD and Phono, and JW Reference ICs on the preamp to amp. The JW's give the initial impact with no harshness. Using 2 sets of Teo's in line on the CD or Phono was too ... | |
| JWAudio Cryo-Nova speaker cable. How does it rate? It appears that the JW is Speltz Anticables with Cryo treatment. Paul Speltz told me that there would be no noticeable sound difference in different length cables. My guess is it would be the same for the JW's. I have a friend who says the cabl... |
