MicroMara Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 As this is the only cd thread we have here .....well Guys ..it´s done ..the moddy from my Marantz SACDP/ DAC ... That´s what we´ve done ..... *Drive and lens cleaned *mechanical damping of the drive *Mains phase connection revision *Jensen double capacitors *operating voltage blocking with additional film capacitors *replacement of all old electrolytic capacitors against Elna Silmic / Panasonic *Quartz amplification with Masterclock oscillator XO1.1 *Increase of power supply filtering *Improvement of the converter filtering My Model SA11 S-3 Inside pic seriell Marantz model sa11-s3 after ......Elna silmic caps all over ... the new masterclock pcb with Elma Silmic / Wima Caps the new jensen filter elkos and some Elna Silmis How it sound´s ? The production model S 3 is already the further development of the SA 11 S1 / S2 / S3 series and should therefore be sonically mature. Is it also in relation to its predecessors . But now playing in an even higher league. More air between the voices and instruments on stage, an even deeper as well as finer resolution of the mid-highs in the stage, better basic dynamics in the fundamentals, the bass stagger even cleaner, sublime control and composure at high levels. I am even more surprised how the RF7 EvoTec acoustically implements the modifications made to the Marantz SA11-S3 so clearly audible. So I would say .....a senseful audible investment .... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 I tell you what, when i afforded them for the connection between my amp and preamp... I WAS SOLD ON IT! The dead background, the pure sound, and the never ending expanse of the soundstage of the discs I was familiar with. Nuff Said! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 I have just started to enjoy Albert King since I got that "I'll Play the Blues For You" record and another last year. Then I've pulled him up on youtube so much he's still in the list when I plugged the roku back in! Better keep that one... it's from 2019 and you can not download youtube to roku anymore since they went to war with each other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 Just for fun when I get mobile again. Everybody needs essentials. BOC are essential! Had discs with album-like labels before, this one emulates the grooves too. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG. Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 When I read about it, i couldn´t resist and ordered: https://www.discogs.com/de/release/3091197-Basil-Poledouris-The-City-Of-Prague-Philharmonic-Orchestra-And-Chorus-Nic-Raine-Conan-The-Barbarian- Re-recording of the 1982 movie OST, two discs, just over two hours of music. About a third of the tracks were unreleased before. This is a much clearer recording, compared to my 1987 muffeled original. Details are different, for example: • On the old recording the drums are prominent. • Some tracks are played a little slower (my impression). • Makos (Iwamoto Makoto) opening is missing in this recording. Now i´m looking for this to make my collection complete: https://www.discogs.com/de/release/4430514-Basil-Poledouris-Conan-The-Barbarian-The-Complete-Original-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were also once audio CD blanks in vinyl retro design. As I still own a Audio CD Recorder from Philips I use and prefer the Maxwell CD blanks to record CD`s for my friends. The best CD blanks are from MFSL , but quiet expensive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroMara Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I´ll prefer to listen to unknown music as long as my SACD is in the re-burn In phase . Has approx. 50 hours of operation now and opens up more and more . Love to listen to ......Jennifer Warnes " The Hunter " 1992 Production . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
