I am running the cdp (Adcom GCD700 changer with remote volume control it has a digital out) ) in variable mode now with the Harmonic Recovery System between the power amp. Any guess if the Art DI/O improve the sonics of the Adcom w/ the H.R.S. ?

Jim,

Look around in Mouser or Digikey for a good E-core transformer, 9-10 VAC at 5 amps or better. Stick it in a good steel case and use very good cable and connectors from the AC outlet and to the DI/O connectors.

Make sure you've changed out the 5 volt regulator inside the DI/O. The stock one does not regulate well at all.

The better the equipment the less the gain. It will give it a warmer sound and you might like it. Make sure the digital output on your CD is variable if your counting on that for attenuation.

Thanks! Will do (nt) [message #14057 is a reply to message #14055] Thu, 18 December 2003 14:39 Go to previous messageGo to next message

Thanks for the link. I've been looking it over and I think I'll try some mods and see what happens.

HI,
The tube part of this converter is only A to D. The D2A actually runs better without the tube, sicne there is less heat in the case.
Boulder cables does some good mods.
I have no idea how good the output stage is, but some people swear by the modded dac. I decided to go a different route (much older high end)
