Any Comparisons between VTL 7.5 & ARC Ref 3
Sounds like a perfect plan DGAD. When you get the new 7.5 Mk.2 and you break it in, please let us all know about the differences you perceive compared to the original model. Guido 
Best Isolation Platform with Audio Aero Prestige
Tom, there is a simple solution. Place your entire system, including isolation racks into a refrigeration unit. . . and chill down to absolute 0 . . . any audiophile grade chillers out there. . . regardless, I want my chiller modded. 
Any Comparisons between VTL 7.5 & ARC Ref 3
Sherod, I am enjoying my Ref 3 immensely, no plans to jump on greener pastures even when I eventually found one . . . simply 0 budget for it. The only minor issue I can see with its tubed power supply is that the 6550C in it runs out of steam afte... 
Any Comparisons between VTL 7.5 & ARC Ref 3
Dgad, it's an interesting theory. Yet I fear. . . correlation does not imply causality. . . but it's safe to gess that they will sound somewhat different.

I'd love to hear about it as well.

What about simple solid maple/steel devices such as the MapleShades? 
anyone modded an Esoteric to get digital inputs?
Deshapiro, before contacting any third parties, you may want to buzz Tim Crable at TEAC America. It may very well be that TEAC has the part/process you need. 
Review: Machina dynamica Brilliant Pebbles Tweak
It should not be too difficult to determine what minerals are being used. A quick visit to a rock/nature store, museum of Natural History, or natural science department of a local college should unravel the mystery. So called semi-precious stones ... 
NHT3.3 to Viena Acoustic Mahlers
Mystang, I heard the NHT 3.3 a few years ago and the Mahlers last fall. Both speakers have very low bass. I recall the Mahler's bass being more controlled and tuneful than the NHT, but the venue was different and music was not the same. Your room ... 
What did Jeff Rowland mean by a "new module?"
Audiogal2, a module is usually a smallish electronic board, populated by chips or discrete devices, and sometimes sealed in a housing or epoxy matrix. Modules may be soldered onto the machine or plugged into sockets. If you have questions specific... 
NHT3.3 to Viena Acoustic Mahlers
Mystang, what kind of sound are you seeking? What is the rest of your system? What music do you listen to? What are the size and characteristics of your listening room?? 
Break in period
Psychosomatic, huh? Or in other words. . . delusional, eh? And I thought that in 50 years of music I had reached a small modicum of insight. . . now I am really staggered by the harsh impact of factual reality! 
Break in period
Shadorne, your last post got me thinking. . . what could possibly explain the 1200 hrs to complete break in for my TEAC X-01 Limited CDP? Perhaps Crypto-tubes. . . really tiny. . . really well hidden. . . perhaps kept secret by TEAC. . . real cons... 
DCS Scarlatti - New Flagship Combo
Thank you David, if DCS is not using the TEAC VRDS OEM mechanism, which version of the mechanism are they using? I had heard from TEAC America that TEAC only licensed the lighter OEM version. Has this policy changed recently? 
Break in period
Thank you Shadorne for the enlightenment. I am a little surprised about your findings. Yet Admittedly, I have not had in depth experience with the mainstream commercial audio brands over the last couple of decades, But I recall that just a few yea...
