Bill, I was satisfied with the MiniDIGI. I don’t see it on the miniDSP list anymore. https://www.minidsp.com/images/documents/Product Brief-MiniDIGI.pdf
The current DIGI-FP seems OK (45$) https://www.minidsp.com/images/documents/Product Brief - DIGI-FP.pdf
Else, visit ebay

Hi George,
I have the DIGIFP, its just for if I need a second SPDIF output from intercepting I2S. Will look at the ebay links.

That’s it.
But, one costs $75 and the other $3000 which speaks to my earlier point that digital well engineered gets you to 99% of the performance available for pennies.
I think you're too generous by leaving 1% there, Andrew. 🙂
Although joy of ownership from fit and finish is not something to ignore!

Is anyone still interested in Hi-Res/Low-Res file comparision test?
If so, raise your hand. 🙂

Assuming you mean redbook vs higher than redbook? Calling CD 'low-res' is playing to statler and waldorf and really means you are trying to bias people one way before its even started...
What the heck is that yellow goop around the edges of the cartridge holder, florescent paint so you can handle your turntable in pitch darkness? 😀
With a child’s heart.
You mean you’ve connected the coil pins in series (or parallel)?
The clear body of my tip-less P8ES looks very sexy but one channel measures open.
If you think your cartridge magician can fix it for you, I ‘ll send it to Bojo’s land (well, I am not sure if post service here is shut down too).
What have you done to the headshell?
George
I had the coils rotated 45 degrees so they read lateral and vertical now.
. Unlikely but I will ask
I should have said. Not my headshell. These are pics from the repair shop in Vladivostok.
Oh, Oh! Heading to nirvana Bill.
And you 'll feed the lateral reading coil to the preamp leaving the vertical reading coil unconnected?
George
>Edit
After browsing at the site where he posts close-up photos of his work, I am confident he will reply ‘yes’
I will be adding a M-S conversion option into the preamp so I can use it as stereo. Bit like the decca cartridges which use resitive bridge to do the sum and difference.
All an experiment. We shall see how it goes.
