| Does Anyone Offer Audio Mods For A Mac Mini? sSD sound better as I have compared, Steve is right. | |
| TAD-60 mods Bypass the volume controlReplace cheap coupling capsReplace cheap resistors in signal pathThis is a great start. The power supply could also be improved by using more capacitance, using chokes instead of the power resistor .....Use good solid core... | |
| Does Anyone Offer Audio Mods For A Mac Mini? Mojo Audio makes a great power supply for the Mini and he is in the USA.It made a huge improvement in my system. I followed all of Steve's Amarra and optimization suggestions also. In total, great sounding indeed. | |
| Aleph 3 - Its 2013, are they still awesome ? Don't buy it, rather buy a First Watt M2 for $1690 from Reno Hifi if they still have any refurb ones. You get the full warranty and Nelson Pass's current best effort and an amp with similar tone and strengths - only better.No kidding. Buy one! I j... | |
| Preamps w/ polypropylene caps in power supply? Those film caps can and do sound great compared to electros in many designs. But it depends on the power supply design, design goals, and type of amp. I have used computer grade, huge can electos to great effect. They do great things for a robust ... | |
| Tube amp for Nola Metro ref Gold They like tube watts. My Hurricane DT amps by ASL are wonderful with Nola speakers. 200 watts per channel and pure heaven with Nola speakers... | |

| DACs With Killer Built-In Preamps I understand many things audio and the Eximus dac has enough drive. Just found my tube preamp sounds better. | |
| Tube buffer or tube preamp Czbbcl got it right. Ya, what he says. Tell us what you have and a little about your room. | |
| DACs With Killer Built-In Preamps I respectfully think that had nothing at all to do with it. All the numbers and specs line up to make the dac sing in my system, it did sing , but not as well as the active Dude.Or perhaps we agree......what do mean by drive? | |
| DACs With Killer Built-In Preamps Just a quick update. I put my TRL Dude back into my system after living with a preampless system for many months. Well, I missed the Dude and it was a mistake to take it out of the system. I think removing the Dude gave the impression that the mus... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Like most things it comes down to execution and the results may in fact be in the details. I will report back on my findings as I must learn first hand ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks to all and good follow up ....... I am going to try some on large can, computer grade electro's in a power supply. We will see. I don't like tilted up highs or mids, but greatly prefer a warm tone with good detail. | |
