Speltz anti-ic's vs Nordost QuattroFil
The Speltz anti ic's are amazing. They are open,detailed and fast with a nice hint of warmth and not forward at all. Good solid bass extension. They seem to be more on the silver sounding side than copper because of the extended highs which are re... 
Speltz anti-ic's vs Nordost QuattroFil
The Speltz anti ic's are going through some serious changes as they break in. I have never heard the sonic changes in a cable like I am hearing now. They are very detailed out of the box. After 24 hours straight and 8 hours with a Purist Audio cd ... 
Audire Forte Power Amp Mods?
By all means just pick up the phone and have a nice chat with Mr. Schulte at the Upgrade Company. Very clean and very safe with excellent results. I don't know if he has worked on this amp but he has done a lot of work on vintage as well as brand ...

Looking at the bank of capacitors on the SE's the sonics are going to flucuate until they fully break-in.I would give them a solid 300 hours or more without turning them off and play them hard at times. It would not hurt to run a burn-in disc whil... 
Nuforce
Huge advantage of Nuforce is the controlled lower end and size. Someone once told me that these amps sounded lean to them. Yes, they are built that way for a reason. Very nuetral and natural sounding having great depth and openess. It is up to the... 
Review: Linn Schulte Modified CD12 CD Player
Earflappin, you are pretty much there now. You can just sit back and enjoy the band. Most people don't even know how good there unit really is because they turn it on for a couple of hours and then shut it off. I admit I was one of those people. I... 
Review: Linn Schulte Modified CD12 CD Player
The good news is that it sounds great now and any improvement over the next year is even better. The better the parts, wiring etc... the longer the break-in time. Same thing happens when you turn the player completely off for an extended period of...

Mmakshak, I have 8.02's and 9.02's the 9's are more revealing through the full range. But, my 9's also have the wbt's and are the extended bass version. I am not sure if the two use the same power supply either. Both are really good though. I migh... 
Masrantz Sa-11S1 /w RAM Full upgrade?
Phaelon, call David Schulte at the Upgrade Company. He will have a bunch of info regarding the new Marantz units plus other people you can call and talk to regarding the upgrades. Go and look at the review on the Linn Schulte modded CD12. There is...

Stehno, congrats on your SE's. Let me know at the 150 hour mark. By the way I am using 3' speaker cables, what a difference that made. Put some nice thick jumper wires between the amps and speakers would probably improve more. Denf, Stehno had the... 
Review: Linn Schulte Modified CD12 CD Player
Earflappin, I knew you would come back to this thread after you had some hours on that unit. You should go through one more change after another 100 hours or so. It is usually not as dramatic as the first at 150 hours or so. I have had 3 different... 
Review: Linn Schulte Modified CD12 CD Player
John, you did not hijack the thread at all. It is about a modified unit and what Schulte has done for someone again. And I am just standing behind his findings. What is amazing is how good the unit sounds to David before the full break in period. ... 
Review: Linn Schulte Modified CD12 CD Player
John, you are right regarding the dvd side to the story. I did not realize you had vinyl. What a great opportunity for someone to upgrade that DV50s to compare to your vinyl setup. I also see your point in sinking too much into the upgrade, now th... 
Review: Linn Schulte Modified CD12 CD Player
John, what do you think you could possibly buy down the road that would be better than an upgraded DV50s that has been worked on by either APL or the Upgrade Company. To my knowledge from other people that have had there Esoteric's done by Schulte... 
Review: Linn Schulte Modified CD12 CD Player
John, I am not on any payroll. I just know that the modding business is getting a lot of attention and for the help that David Schulte has given me regarding my system I am going to help him back. Not just because he helped me, but I really beleiv...
