It’s one thing to have a piece of gear that looks like a work of art, but it’s another to have it perform at a world-class level. We recently completed extensive modifications on a client’s Shanling CD T-100C to remove sonic congestion and lower the noise floor. The result? A “pitch-black background” and a soundstage
Just in … a review of the maudifi Stage 2 tweaked Musical Fidelity A3.24 DAC. This Digital to Analogue Converter in standard form is maybe getting on in years and uses a DAC chip that would be humbled by the paper specifications of modern silicon. However, it is sturdy, well-made and has “good bones” as
You may have already seen that maudifi now has its very own phono stage … the PhonOh! 756. I guess it has been in soft-launch for the last couple of months, but today sees it getting its very own landing page on the maudifi website. You can see that here. This is the pretty vesion,
“I finished the Stage 2 upgrade on my Cambridge Audio 551P and have been using it daily for a few weeks now, letting it “burn in” and settle. It sounds brilliant, wider and deeper soundstage (which was noticeable immediately), better separation and overall very clear and smooth sounding especially vocals.”
Awesome feedback again from Mat following a Stage 2 upgrade to his Cambridge Audio 551P phono stage. He originally asked about upgrading his CP1 phono stage, but mentioned he also had a 551P. Given that the CP1 is based on the Azur 540P / 551P and he didn’t use its extra balance control stage, I
More great customer feedback, this time for a custom upgrade to a Cambridge Audio Azur 350A integrated amplifier. A lot of work goes into these upgrades and for this one I devised a further custom refinement for Mat (Stage 1+), which has worked out really well. It’s so good, I may look into making this
Part 3 of a series of videos on integrating the Allo USBridge Signature and the Allo DigiOne Signature with a low-noise clean power supply and housing it all in a more high-end looking compact chassis. In this video I take the 3D model developed in the last video and use a laser cutter to produce
Part 2 of a series of videos on integrating the Allo DigiOne Signature and Allo USBridge Signature in a more high-end looking compact chassis. The enclosure also houses a clean low-noise linear power supply and a Lithium-Ion batery pack. This video looks more closely at the Sigi enclosure design from concept to modelling. I cover
The project to build a decent looking enclosure suitable for the Allo USBridge Signature and DigiOne Signature and for it to house flexible power supply options is going well. In fact, the prototype is now complete and taking pride of place in my hi-fi rack. I am pleased with the result and will soon post
Part one of a series of videos on integrating the Allo DigiOne Signature and Allo USBridge with a low noise clean power supply and housing it all in a more high-end looking compact chassis has been posted on YouTube.
