| Enlightened Audio designs Tex, I'm in agreement with Sam. If you decide that the upgrade is for you, then what I can tell you is that going from a I to a III will be a BIG improvement. Sam is also right about the glass input - mine does have that (I use it with my Proceed ... | |
| Enlightened Audio designs Tex, at the time I bought it (many many years ago) I think it may have been somewhere in the $400 price range, but I am really guessing. But don't let that scare you off. Send Greg an email; I suspect if he has them the price may be determined by ... | |
| Enlightened Audio designs Ask him if he still has any remaining original upgrade kits for the Mk.I. These were designed by EAD for EAD owners to bring it up to a Mk.II. Not too difficult to do youself if you have a little skill with a soldering iron. | |
| Enlightened Audio designs Tex, is the a DSP-7000 Mk.I, II, or III? They are all good (I've owned all three), but if you have a Mk.III then you've got the last and best version. I still use it, and like Jsadurni have compared it against many other units. More importantly ma... | |
| Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer? but ultimately I prefer the Cambridge Audio Azur 840C to either of these playersMr_m, why so? | |
| Bedini 801 or Audire Forte amps South, I am very familiar with the Bedini sound, having owned over the years a 25/25, 250/250, and then an 803. Have never heard the Audire. The 80x series of Bedini amps are as musical as all get out, but do have some limitations - one of which i... | |
| Note worthy Omni Directional Speakers.. If you mean more than strictly omni then I would add Shahinian. | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. I met JGH at a few CESes during the mid to late 80s. As indicated above he was a straight shooter. I liked him. Too bad his creation wound up getting hijacked by many of the wrong thinkers. IMO of course. | |
| best sub 1k phono stage? What about the Plinius Jarrah? | |
| Anyone tried the Zu Denon 103 yet? Hdm, in regard to changing too much of the natural coherence of the 103R, I tend to agree with you on this point. Cmk above seems to have had good luck with a retip. From his descrition it sounds like the essential character of the Denon remains.M... | |
| Anyone tried the Zu Denon 103 yet? Hdm, these are all very good points you raise. I would add that another option is the mods that are done by Soundsmith up in Peekskill, NY.There is a fellow on AA that had written up a very detailed positive review of a Uwe bodied 103R. I guess th... | |
| Anyone tried the Zu Denon 103 yet? Yeah, I had the same feeling about this. I would have liked to have read a comparison which included the 103R. Better yet, I'd have been interested to find out if Zu was considering this same kind of mod for the "R". | |

| Slim Devices SB3 external hard drive I have 7211 FLAC compressed songs on my 300GB drive and it is about 66% full. Figure something around 18,000 songs for a 500GB drive if you use FLAC and the assortment is about the same (jazz, rock, classical - small and symphonic). Not sure how A... | |
| What to use if I just want one cleaning fluid? Thanks everybody. To Rgordonpf, I have maybe about only 200 records right now, but with the seeming growth in the last few years of 180 and 200 gram, and 45RPM releases I have started to occasionally buy some new disks, so I guess it may get a bit... |
