So, I've been following the discussions, reading and investigating the specs, thinking about what I know and think about Slim Devices and how I rate their competence and honesty, etc., etc., etc., and, naturally, I have to think to myself: what about the cottage industry of modifiers?
After all, for more or less -- I suppose slightly more -- than the price of a SB3 with an external PS, a new DAC (internal or external), etc., you can get a beautiful and versatile device built to beyond NASA standards. What could be lacking?! Then, on the drive home from work, it hit me: tubes! 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. PS, I am being facetious and just kidding around. Please, no flames or personal assaults, okay? NO OFFENSE INTENDED TO ANYONE. Besides, it really is a half-serious question: I mean, how would you improve on this thing? -- highdudgeon SB3->Nuforce 9.02->Harbeth Monitor 30s/Skylan stands and Quad ESL-988s. Simple and satisfying. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ highdudgeon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2195 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26453 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
