Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Apparently this thread has taken on a life of its own ;). I have not had nor taken the time to read all of it, but I gather that things got ugly at one point.Regardless of all of that, I just wanted to clarify and update information about our Deno... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Hi guys, a bit late to jump in here as the thread has just been brought to my attention. The shootout was certainly interesting and I am obviously pleased with the results.I believe that this has been cleared up already, but the unit we modified f... 
Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
I have found that the Bybee filters do give the impression of 'darkening' the sound as a lot of HF hash and distortion is eliminated. I feel, after having listened with them in a number of different applications, that the effect is very good.It is... 
Disappointed in SACD player
It is unfortunate that the salesman wasn't informed and didn't enable you to demo the gear that you wanted to, but please don't let that dissuade you from pursuing SACD.I have been modifying and comparing a 333ES and a 9000ES the past week or so a... 
Shipping to Japan? Any advice?
I would use FEDEX as it is actually fairly cost-effective. I believe that the voltage there is 110V-50Hz and the unit will likely work just fine if it is 120V-60Hz.As far as duties and taxes on the buyer's end, that is really his/her responsibilit... 
Stupid DAC question
I would recommend upgrading your CDP to something better first. You could either buy an inexpensive Pioneer CD/DVD player for < $200 that would sound fairly good and give you a digital out from which you could add a DAC.Secondly, you could buy ... 
Sony DVP-S9000ES Sound Quality...etc....
There ARE people out there offering mods of this unit and the mods WILL void the factory warranty. However, you simply have to ask the guy doing the mods what kind of guarantee he/she will give you for their work.I am offering mods for the Sony 90... 
Help in biasing my JoLida Tube Amp
Plug the black point into the common or G socket at the center bias jack. There are four screws which are the bias trim pots at each of the power tubes. You plug the red point of your multimeter probe into the bias jack points labelled 1, 2, 3, 4 ... 
Perpetual P-3A vs Bel Canto DAC-1 vs MSB
Hi, I have worked extensively with both the MSB Link DAC and P.T. P-3A DAC. I have not heard the Bel Canto DAC 1 so I can't comment.I have done extensive mods to both Link DACs and the P-3A for which I also offer commercial mods. They are both gre... 
Has anyone compared the MSB DAC's
I have listened to and done mods for Link DAC I, II and III's and the Gold Link DAC and have also listened using the upsampling upgrade. The Gold Link DAC is very similar to the regular Link DAC with the exception that it uses 4 distinct DAC chips...

CD Transport
I am using a Pioneer DV-525 DVD player that I purchased for $200 new and modified myself to further boost its performance. In fact, I have modified a number of these players for audiophiles with great success. I would highly recommend the Pioneer ...
