| Stan Warren mod of 9000es and 333es Simon,Was wondering what wire did Stan use as a replacement and which wires (all internal, power supply, analog output). I think the rcas are directly soldered to the analog board like in the 777ES. Was also wondering what Stan did to reduce the o... | |
| Modifications to digital ... SCD777ES Hi all. I performed the Musicoat upgrade that audio_optimizer recommended on my SCD-777ES (see "SCD-1 Upgrade" thread). I treaded all integrated circuit chips, disk shaped capacitors (not can style), axle leaded resistors, diodes, and diode heat s... | |
| SONY SCD-1 UPGRADE Hi all. I performed the Musicoat upgrade that audio_optimizer recommended on my SCD-777ES. I treaded all integrated circuit chips, disk shaped capacitors (not can style), axle leaded resistors, diodes, and diode heat shinks. This stuff ($105 shipp... | |
| Talon Khorus question I would put Audio Tekne (spk and ic), Analysis Plus Silver Oval (spk cable), Harmonic Magic Woofer (spk and ic), Acoustic Zen (spk and ic) and Silversmith (spk and ic) on the audition list for the Khorus. The Audio Tekne I'm using replaced Siltech... | |
| mods for Adcom GFP-750 Sean, thanks for your input. I'll remove the product names and just ask the questions in a generalized way. In terms of "bang for the buck" which components are usually better to replace in the power supply and analogue output stage circuit? Capac... | |
| mods for Adcom GFP-750 Sean and SDcampell, thanks for your inputs. Its good to get constructive opposing views on the same subject. I'm considering modifying my cd player, Sony SCD-777ES SACD. What is the prefered way to route internal wire and which internal wire works... | |
| Marble to place speakers on? Dave,There is a marble and granite wholesaler in Lancaster. For granite, you will speed $50 a plate (custom cut). I won't worry so much about the added height unless your couch sags. I did talk to Audiopoints last week about using their Sistrum Pl... | |
| Talon Khorus question I've own the Khorus for over 5 months. They replaced the so called Sterephile Speaker of the Year, Eggleston Andras. As soon as I uncarted them and listened to my reference recordings, I knew I made the right choice. Don's discription of the speak... | |
| Best Pre-amp under 7k I had the Presense Delux and found the same issues with gain as Evansdad is reported. It was a good preamp but it lacked transparency. When I replaced it with the Aloia Inductive I made the right choice. Its transparency and dynamics are equal to ... | |
| How many do"green edge"an silicon up CDs Delux, the black marker I use is from the Auric Ill. kit but any indulable ink black marker will work. I agree with megasam, mark only the cds you plan to keep. I have seen the damage alcohol can do to the top surface. I also sand the outside edge... | |
| How many do"green edge"an silicon up CDs When I first open a cd it gets the Mapleshade Microsmooth (ultrafine polish to smooth cd surface), I blacken the outside/inside edges and any clear plastic area in center top and bottom, then they get the Optrix cd cleaner treatment. Prior to list... | |
| Modifications to digital ... SCD777ES Audience has emailed me. The upgrade detail is given below:Thank you for your inquiry. The full modification is more of a reengineering. The result is a state of the art player. It will benefit CD and SACD. It solves the biggest problem of digital... | |
| Modifications to digital ... SCD777ES Simon,I was considering a few sources. Musical Design, Stan Warren, and Dan Wright for the component bypassses. I just talked to Jerry O. at Audio Logic and his price to add his tube output stage went up from $1250 to $1450. I'm concerned about th... | |
| To tube or not to tube... I've owned SF Line 2, First Sound Presence Delux, and Golden Tube SEP-1SE tube preamps, EVS passive attenuator, and the Aloia solid state Inductive Power Supply preamp 14.01. Nothing compares to the Aloia in terms of transparency, soundstaging, ne... |
