Yep, I'm not one of them, but those who spent these kind of money
typically have spent over $3k to $10k buying a CD player. What they now
claimed is that with the modifica

Yeah, I thought you guys were talking about spending between $5 and $30
on this project. which is low enough, if it is not clear it works,
who cares!
Clearly a $1000 power
$1000 for an "upgraded" power supply?

I recently setup 2 SB3's. One at the office and one at home.
The one at the office, using variable rate WMP, is a big improvement
over the older Denon CD transport.
However, I've been a little disappointed with the results at home (so
far). Using lossless WMP, the sound through the analog output

Thank's for the Big Ben tip - but now I've already bought or ordered

on the overall reproduction of music. While it is true the source

Mine is minimalist system for my home office. The SB3 feeds a pair of
Behringer Truth B2031A active powered, bi-amped nearfield monitors.
I'm thinking of adding a pair of matching Behringer 2092 powered

I can confirm that the later Linn Brilliant SMPS's are indeed very very
good.
Certainly later versions of the 5103, Kairn and Karik were noticeably

SMPS is clearly not empirically bad - but it would appear that good
ones are neither common or cheap.
