| Samsung Hd841 or Toshiba 4960 modifications I started the mods thread over at AudioCircle. Check it out on the Multichannel and Digital forum.The mods smooth out any residual digital harshness and improve the palpability of the player. The presentation and PRAT and dynamics are improved dra... | |
| High End Audio in Cancun I'll be in Cancun in mid May, but the last thing I will be doing is looking for audio. I'll be diving, beaching, snorkling, cenote/cave diving, drinking tequila, pooling, sunning ... and such. :-)Enjoy,Bob | |
| Should you use cleaner on your stylus? Haaaaa! I even found a link where you can have a free sample sent to you. Don't even have to go to the supermarket anymore, and no cash out of your pocket. This may be the most effective, cheapest tweak yet! It should be posted on Enjoy the Music.... | |
| New journey - Samsung HD841 Universal Player Sean - Here's a link to (what I believe is) the original Swenson mod thread at Audio Asylum. There's lots of info there about this output stage mod, as well as other power supply mods that were made to the Toshiba 3950/3960 machines. The 4960 is a... | |
| New journey - Samsung HD841 Universal Player Sean - if you read a little more carefully you will notice that the AudioCircle comparison of the 4960 to the modded DI/O used the 4960 as a transport for the DI/O. Yes, the sound of the two was very similar with the same transport.However, using ... | |
| New journey - Samsung HD841 Universal Player Welcome to the club.Here's a link to the 4960 mods thread over at www.AudioCircle.comhttp://www.audiocircle.com/circles/viewtopic.php?t=12613There finally seems to be a group interested in this little player, now that the price went below $100. Do... | |
| Does anyone out there have a liquid system There are lots of proponents of smoother, more liquid sound. They all seem to share a couple of traits - tubes, vinyl, copper wire, and staying away from metal dome tweeters.I also have found smooth bliss with my tubed Audio Prism Mantissa preamp ... | |
| How does Red Rose compare to older Levinson stuff? The tubed Red Rose components were formerly built and distributed by Audio Prism. ML bought the line from them, and they supported the manufacturing and development efforts. They have now parted ways, which is why ML went with the Korsun stuff (IM... | |
| Preamp for Vandersteen 2ce sig w/ Mccormack DNA0.5 Any particular reason why you are looking at Solid State? The McCormack mates really well with tubed preamps.Search - there's lots of responses to this one already.Bob | |
| Preamp suggestions for a McCormack DNA-125? The McCormack's work really well with both passive and tubed preamps... though the flavor is different with each.Very clean with the passive, but lacking that bit of dynamics that an active stage brings to the table.Tubed units are a mixed bag. So... | |
| recommendation for inexpensive CDP There are several inexpensive Toshiba DVD players that cost between $50 (for a DVD/CD player) to $150 (for a universal DVD/CD/SACD/DVD-A player. They sound decent enough stock, but if you're willing to put another $50-100 into them and can soldier... | |
| Most Common Gear-Matching Mistakes? To elaborate a little on what Philefreak stated: I believe he's talking about the impediance match between pre-amps and amps (primarily), since source component electrical charachteristics are pretty standardized. But there's more than just impedi... | |
| SA-CD/DVD-A? Yeah, I had been holding off on either format to see where they would go ... and my CD sound was actually pretty decent overall, so there was little motivation.I recently bought a cheap universal and modded the hell out of it (Toshiba SD4960). Ama... | |
| Giantkiller components Yeah, I would have to say go for the $500 offer from Magnapan. Damn hard to beat that one, even going DIY.Keep the budget low on the digital front end and get a Toshiba 3960 or 4960 universal, even better and mod it. That would run you about $200 ... | |
| Come On, Zeus-ers, How Does the Big Rogue Sound? Just a suggestion - go to Audiocircle.com and check out the Regional Circle's NY Audio Rave group. Ask Richard (bugleboy) how he likes the amp.As you can see from the pictures on the "Rave Meet" thread, Richard has 2 outstanding systems. He can ce... |
