| TRL Sony 2000es or RAM Toshiba 3960 I'm quite curious about how the TRL 3960 will turn out... I had been in touch with Paul re the 2000ES but I'd prefer to mod a unit that plays DVD as well. That said, I'm not too confident about the durability of the 3960. | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? Steve,Thanks for the additional comments on the TRL 595. It really does seem like a no-brainer for the price. Paul had briefly mentioned other players that sounded better than the 595 when modded, like the Sony 2000ES and the Marantz SA11/14. Did ... | |
| any experience with TRL mod ? Paul Wietzel of TRL told me that the modded 2000ES sounds better than the modded 595. Given that the 2000ES has a lot in common with the 595, its good that the extra $$ gives you better sound quality and not just better looks. | |
| Anyone heard Underwood level1 3910 mod? Could you tell us more about the modded 3910? I read their ad here on audiogon. It seems like their upgrades are focused on the new clock and on the power supply, with less done to the output stage. Other modders have radically redesigned or even ... | |
| Cary 306-200 Mod - My Impressions I didn't mod my Cary - I think the question is directed to Mrpaul. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Kerry,Alex has not been feeling well these past few days so bear with the delay. I was in touch with him earlier today. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? TBG,Could you tell us more about your impressions of the APL 3910? | |
| Cary 306-200 Mod - My Impressions Congrats! I had a Cary 303 and it was very very solidly buillt (35 lbs!) and the inside looked very well laid out. I decided to sell it to finance a modded universal player (still in the works) but I had always wondered about modding it. Glad to h... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? All the best at the CES, Alex! - Jay | |
| tubes for CAL Alpha Another vote for the Sylvania 5751. In particular, I heard the Sylvania Gold Brand grey 5751 and it sounded amazing - musically balanced, detailed, nuanced, wonderful. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Hi Alex,That's great the you've tried the new dac board on the 563a! What are the Tamura transformers? How do they compare with the Lundahls? How does the 563a + dac board compare with the modded 2900? Finally, what's the output impedance of the 5... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Alex,Interesting comments on the Denon's transport and DSP -- are there many differences between the Denon 2900 and 3910? In terms of final product, we have read here on audiogon that your modded 3910 is better than your 2900. Thanks! | |
| Are the Denons the Best Universals to Mod? Tvad, I agree with you that there is no clear "best." What we need to understand better is what trade-offs the designers made or, more appropriately, how they chose to voice their mods. I am now getting the impression that the APL and Exemplar are... | |
| Are the Denons the Best Universals to Mod? 711smilin,Glad to hear that you liked the Modwright. Dan is on my shortlist of modders. Would love to read more of your impressions -- was the imaging precise, how much detail was there, bass depth/tightness, dynamics, etc. Thanks! | |
| Need your thoughts on Denon 3910 vs McCormack UDP1 Re: Denver area Exemplar-modded Denon 2900Check out the forum of the "Denver Audio Mafia" on www.audiocircle.com/circles. One of the guys there has an Exemplar-modded Denon 2900. Good luck - hope you're able to finally hear this player. |
