Because no one has heard the Transporter yet, and also because even tho the price is close, modding an SB3 is still cheaper. > Look at JA's review: the SB, used as a transporter, is virtually > (because he can't use an absolute) inditinguishable from a super > kilo-buck transport.

I recently had the chance to hear the Boulder power supply mod for an SB2, and there was appreciable improvement (using the SB2 as a transport to drive my DAC). I disagree with JA's view that the SB as a transport is virtually indistinguishable from a reference-level transport. -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26691 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
