Re: [slim] SB3 Easy Modifications
After much debate I ordered the power upgrade for the SBT. it did take 3 weeks, but I got it and it made a definite improvement. Tighter bass is the most evident. I will post a picture soon. I am very pleased! -- myvinyl333 http://www.iamnotjerry.com Supporting live Music myvinyl333's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22155 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89698 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] SB3 Easy Modifications
Pardon me if this thread/question has been asked, but not being a DIY person, what is the easiest SB3 modification, PSU? I have decided against a DAC and will beef up the SB3. -- myvinyl333 http://www.iamnotjerry.com Supporting live Music myvinyl333's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22155 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89698 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SB3 Easy Modifications
Adding a linear power supply is considered by many to be a good way to increase the sound quality of an SB3. Welborne Labs sells a linear power supply for the SB3 for about $250. It's on sale right now for $212 assembled or $165 in kit form. The ELPAC WM220-1 was a popular choice while they were available. Good luck.

Re: [slim] SB3 Easy Modifications
At those prices a dac looks very attractive. I'd google welbourne Labs too before placing any orders. Chris ;) -- Stratmangler There is no element of personal attack in my response.

Re: [slim] SB3 Easy Modifications
+2 on Welborne Labs. Never got the product, and took a lot of arm twisting to get my money back. One cheap alternative ($28) is to pick up a Touch power supply directly from Logitech. It is a perfect replacement, and a better unit. http://buy.logitech.com/store/logib2c/en_US/DisplayCategoryProductListPage/categoryid.28136200 Best bang for the buck is a new DAC. The SB3 sounds great, but you would be surprised what an improvement a newer DAC will make. -- vrette (3) SB Touch, (3) SB Radio, Cambridge Audio 840AV2, 340T, DacMagic, BW 683, HSU VFT2-MK3, Logitech Harmony 880, 7.6.1 on Asus E35M1-M PRO Win7 64 bit , and a bunch of other stuff... vrette's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15256 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89698 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
