Mod your Beresford 7520

[TMC]

Hello all,

I would like to thank Stan first, and foremost for making an excellent product. After reading all of your posts here I decided to make the purchase for a 7520 and it sounds great. I also purchased the LM4562 amps and installed it thanks to all of you. The sound seems to have much more weight to it not to mention the bass is a lot more control. I love the sound now it just sounds more alive. I am also waiting for the ths4032 amps and can't wait to plug those in. But thanks again to all here making my current system come alive. It now sounds way better than my old Arcam CD73 unit the harsh/shrill on the top is gone.

Cheers,
tc

has anyone tried the MLC5/MLC6 mod? i'm interested in it but can't because i have no soldering skills. if it really does make it sound more analogue, that'd be pretty interesting. hopefully, stan can add this mod as an upgrade later on in their website.

i'm currently digging the sound of the THS4032CD's that i bought form Tirna.

Except for the TC-7520, does anyone else makes a DAC where the DAC chip can be replaced without any circuit modifications?

The old Pink Triangles had replaceable filters, Philips 1307, HDCD etc. Mind you I seem to remember that the filters cost as much as a new 7520.

I managed to fuck up the op amp in my headphone out when changing op amps today. does anything happen to the sound in the line out if i don't use an op-amp in the headphone out? - I'm pretty sure i hear some kinda light distortion, does anyone know what i could be?

I'm using a BB OPA2107 in the line out..

Can't you replace it (hpa) with the line-out op amp you took out (they're identical, so that gives you one extra).

I've just recieved a pair of 4032s from Tirna Electronics on eBay, pre-fitted with the required cap and they fitted straight in without any problems. Fine on lid clearance too.

Sounding very nice.

I run mine with a 4032 as well, and very happy too!

I wonder...would the mod to remove the two caps (mcml6/6) be applicable for someone running the 4032, or would it just apply to the LM4562NA Amp?


Thanks.

From what I recall I don't *THINK* this mod is suitable for the 4032, and could possibly make it unstable. Something to do with a high slew rate I believe, which doesn't affect op-amps such as the 4562, 2107, etc..

The above paragraph may be complete tosh, hopefully someone will correct me if it is

Have you listened to headphones yet? I wasn't able to run a pair of 4032, as the HPA got very distorted. Always possible that my Senn 595s' 50 ohm impedance was too low for that config.
