Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL?
a shame about the CEC service issue- always wanted to try one of their transports, but from what you guys are saying, might have to give it a pass...Tabl- JO did not mention what version Apparition, but I know it was an earlier one than my 5.7 Sig... 
Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL?
Elberoth2- for jitter interfaces, I have owned and tested the DCS Purcell; GW Labs DSP; and Assemblage D2D-1Tabl10s- be careful on that last statement- not sure Jerry himself would agree with thatKana813- great advice for Tabl10s- buy the AL dac a... 
Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL?
further testing in my system (since this thread started) has proven jitter interfaces do NOT help the AL 24MXL Dac, and so I agree with Rcprince. That says a hell of a lot about Jerry's design and superb re-clocking doesn't it? EVERY other high-en...

Atma-Sphere M60 or David Berning ZH270?
I have owned Coincident Super Eclipses; smaller Victory; and for the past couple of years the Total Victory. I have used many different amplifiers on them, and have found a good push-pull triode circuit to me most effective (especially on any of t... 
2-way Bi-amp: Outboard Xover or EVS attenuators??
thanks guys- I have decided to go the attenuator route, do to cost constraints and the fact that the crossover the designer uses internally is excellent- thanks for the responses though- much appreciated. 
CDP-Front load with Top qualities
Interesting- I have the same rack issues as you, and that is why I picked up a Vecteur L-4 CDP. Slimline front-loader, but heavy and with excellent build. I now use it as a transport into an Audio Logic 24MXL dac, but can highly recommend the Vect... 
Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL?
unknown if it will work or not. I also have the 24MXL (superb dac btw), and tried it with my SF D2D-1 (similar to the Big Ben interface). No measureable improvement, but then no real degradation either, so you could try it and see what happens. Pl... 
Best rca digital cable for Audio Logic 24MXL dac?
Powder- the MIT caps in out AL Dac are 4th from thr best, and could be improved. I am considering it, and will add a not to this thread if I do it. I am sure those TF 6922's are fantastic, the Siemens I am using arent' too bad either. BNC?? I only... 
Difference between Marigo apparition 5.5 and 5.7

air tight atm-3 vs. berning zh270
Tried the ATM-3's recently in my 'A' rig- didn't do it for me (bass too thick and a bit slow, and transparency could be better) HOWEVER, picked up the smaller ATM-4, and it's fantastic! Much better PRAT, and better transprency as well, I also foun... 
Difference between Marigo apparition 5.5 and 5.7
no- I just went for the 5.7 Sig and didn't look back- a superb digital cable- you won't be disappointed... 
EAD lovers: tell me about the $10K TM Sig Classic
Sat- Tony does have a point though. I have owned the 'sister' machine to the EAD (EAD did the digital board for Sim)- the Sim Audio Attraction, and it is a well-kept secret that the 5.1 version is actually better sounding than the more current 7.1...
