Anybody have a problem buying modded units.
I've had a HRAM Denon 3910 "stage 2 mod" in my system for a couple of months. The output pcb and clock were designed by Alex at APL. The rest of the mods are the work of Mike Powell... HRAM lists all the changes on their website and offers three l... 
Suggestions for a CDP
Get a modded CDP or universal player. Much better bang for the buck! 
Compressed Air Cleaning of Electronics
If you use an air compressor even with a water/oil seperator...be aware there is still much moisture in the air stream! Dry air is only had if you can remove the "heat" from the air. This process leaves the moisture behind in a collector. Canned a... 
APL parts,... H.R.A.M Denon DVD-3910 ?
I have had this player in my system now for 22 days, 240+ hours each on Redbook and SACD. This is easily the best digital source I have had the pleasure of listening too! I've owned Onkyo,Sony,Marantz and Esoteric and heard many other fine CDPs in...

APL NWO2.5 ?
I started this thread.... so I'm butting in.I have a question for Alex; I just bought a Denon 3910 from Mike at Hotrod mods. It is a stage II mod w/your output board and super clock. How does this player compare to your full mod 3910? Will I be ha... 
Best Male Singers of the 20th Century
I'd give a vote for James Taylor. His attention to the music, the harmonies and the quality of recordings also is a plus. He has a silky smooth voice and is a great musician/song writer. He has produced great music for 4 plus decades. 
Amps for WP7
Checkout this review: www.passlabs.com/reviews/pultun-XA-160-X600.Also the Stereophile review of the XA-160 used the W.P. 7's as their reference. 
Recommended amplification?
I would recommend Parasound products..check them out. Great affordable amps and preamps w/phono stage. 
Audio Physic speakers: where on the value scale?
I'd have to agree with Narrod... I bought his Avanti IIIsI also agree with Jab and johnjbarlow...the Virgo IIs are one of the best sounding speaker bargins on the used market.I've owned them and have heard from other former owners that they wished... 
Pass Labs XA- ".5" ???
Now I'm confused , Tboooe and joefama...one and the same? 
Pass Labs XA- ".5" ???
Thank you Tboooe! 
Pass Labs XA- ".5" ???
Tboooe,I had the X-350 paired w/ Audio Physic Virgo II's. The Virgo's are 4 ohm and 90db. When I listend to Jazz the meter never moved... and I have a large room. But if I put on Led Zepplin 1...I could get it bounc'in! I think the original 350 wa... 
Pass Labs XA- ".5" ???
Unsound, my point is... if you listen to music at extreme spl's in very large rooms you may need A/B amplification. That is why Pass has the X line products. I think people get the idea that the XA's are not capable of driving difficult loads beca... 
Pass Labs XA- ".5" ???
How about....... bring out the best the speaker has to offer. I think even Pass Labs would acquiesce and "say the X-600.5 would be a better match for some".. ie, B&W 802D etc. I'm sure there are many other designs that prefer more push/pull s....
