Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] SB+ review by TNT - Audio
opaqueice;190389 Wrote: Please. I don't care nearly enough about this to be considered a fanboy, and I don't own a Transporter. It just seems a little odd to spend so much modifying a SB for improved sound quality when the company that designed it in the first place has produced a carefully engineered version with precisely that goal in mind. While I don't doubt that Patrick Dixon knows what he's doing, he's competing against a team of pros that have quite a few advantages - a research budget, a nice lab stocked with fancy equipment, engineering degrees, and the experience of years spent designing three generations of SBs from the ground up. Not to mention a customer service department. As for aesthetics, that's a perfectly valid reason, but obviously a matter of taste - personally I don't much like the way either of them looks. Let's not forget that the sb+ has been around since before the transporter existed (afaik). -- davidcotton davidcotton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33917 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Somebody will something euphonic, with greater SNR, etc., and I bet someone comes up with a tube buffer or output stage, etc. Of course, tubes don't seem very popular in this forum, but, hey.

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Redwine Audio?
As well as Red Wine Audio theres also Bolder Cable that do sb mods. Word of advice though. If your thinking of changing the amp any time soon wait and do that first. Get used to the new sound that the change of amp will bring. Other wise you won't know which item in the system is doing which. Change one component at a time and get used to that sound first. IMHO and all that of course!

I'd been using an all marantz combo (66 KI SIG amp and matching 63 KI SIG cdp)quite happily, but the amount of discs overtaking my room was starting to irritate me, which is why I went for the sb3/qnap combo. I've been using an m-audio superdac between amp and sb3 and just sent that off to have some mods done to that (all the basic op amps and circuit board upgraded basically!). I'd love to send off the sb3 to somewhere like bolder, but not sure of the shipping costs from here in the uk, plus theres something like an 8 week waiting list anyway!
