Heres one of the discretes I tried

Before I try the Murata regs can I just establish that I need the new Caiman PSU, not the original, since they require 15V to operate?
Stan - any chance that the new PSUs will be in soon?
Hi Martin, send me an email and I'll sort you out with a payment request.Quote:

Feel free to pass by and listen to mine with the mods through my NS1000M and HD800, before you make the plunge. Bring your own DAC and some test tunes for reference.
Thanks Stan. E-mail sent. I will go ahead and order the components since I am sure it will improve on an already outstanding product.
I'm not sure how many other users are using their Caimans for Sky HD (optical link) but I can tell you that the sound quality on some HD programming is quite superb (David Attenborough's Life is particularly impressive).
Yes, I am Martin - stunning on some of the music programs on BBC HD, and MTV HD is pretty good, too. I gave up on surround years ago - crystal clear stereo is fine even with films I find.Quote:

Agreed, Alex, I have no time for surround sound.
Another small update on first page
Happy New Year!
