Hi Allan,
No, not yet. Only some bits and pieces here and there. I'm thinking about buying it
I just got a quote for 30 euro from a company here in Holland.
Regards,
Ray.

It seems a lot of money for some spray paint and a handful of capacitors !

Re: Re: Re: Group Buy - Back on ?
I will only make one comment....
Yes, it is a shame that people, who have an obvious talent and enthusiasm and who could make / have made an invaluable contribution to this forum, have been banned. However, they did bring it on themselves with sniping and crude remarks at people of lesser talent or newcomers to the forum and in displaying at times a generally unhelpful attitude. [ ........'search the forum, it's there !' .......] This thread shows that there is nothing to be gained by this type of attitude. Ray and Rowe, for example, have been helpful in the extreme to newbies and people of lesser technical knowledge but have shown great patience. They are to be commended !

I'd love to too. I expect the DP would sound veiled and lifeless, the Tenzing amazing, and the forums' efforts varying wildly!!! I know what mine sounds like (pretty impressive) and Brent's machine has everything mine has plus MUCH more so it must be stupendously good. No doubt Ray has cooked up an über-treat too, although he seems to use various players and I'm not sure if any single one is 'complete'. Do you use one highly modded machine Andy?

I found the interview there amusing. I'm sure it's a nice player, but changing some psu caps only has so much effect on the sound. What about the poor quality op-amps, poor psus and poor grounding arrangements? Clearly this one-off was just a bit of fun done as cheaply as possible and can't be mistaken for high end.

Agreed.
Point a.....The copper plating seems, like the DAHMs, something of a marketting exercise. Reducing the ground impedance is good.. but only when the chassis, cover and front panel are used as ground ? If it reduces eddy currents, surely it would be better to remove the source?
point b.............he changed the psu capacitors for Black Gates?? lower ESR therefore the switch on surge is higher hence higher value fuses. Changing to Copper wire rather than the standard plated steel is something mentioned on the forum ! He then changed more caps, probably Black Gates around the rest of the DAC/Audio stages.
point c..........he atered the filter role off to Bessel and checked thephase etc much as Ray did. He says it was tricky...was it, Ray ??
point d.......then he changed some more caps.
NO EXTRA REGS ? NO COAX ? NO Op-Amps ?
All for £1000 ?
Is it worth it?
