Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

I do not know the Lapmpizator but from what I have seen at his site I would not invest a lot into his assessment of sound.  Those people, like most of those audio-DIY people, do not any sonic objectives and their actions are just a series of endless differences and building up theories to about those differences. Their audio actions unseals have very little references any cultural listening and therefore they have little significance.  Saying that, I do not insist that Lapmpizator is wrong in case of CEC’s  SPDIF. However, I do not think that he has understanding or requirements to sound to interpret his own findings in context of everything else.  I might be mistaken but this the impression that I got.

The CEC TL1 is very soft sound player, Lapmpizator right about it. The CEC TL0 has the identical output board with the same way to take SPDIF out bit it has no signs of the TL1’s softener – it fact it is brutally-hard transport. It also has bass that nothing even remotely closed to TL1. So, this is why, although the “theories” of Mr. Lapmpizator might make senses but I do not know what it means in term of practical sound.

BTW, I would like to note that there are two other sources that work on TL0.

Reference Audio Mods from California claim that they “upgrade “ the TL0

http://www.referenceaudiomods.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=CECMods&Category_Code=MODS&Product_Count=0

Those guys are a bit “out of range” as they do not do modifications that make sonic sense but they juts sell the “installed parts.” If tomorrow some another stupid tweaker company would sell dead rats’ testacies as an “audio  tweak” then the Reference Audio Mods will pile 43245 dead rats testacies in each upgraded transport.

Another source is in Russia – in St. Petersburg.

There is a company in there- SPB Sound that does some modifications. Here is the translated page:

The images are clickable. I have no idea what they intend and end up with it sonically. However, it is good the their CEC TL0 can read any disks now. I would like to have this bug to be fixed on my TL0 as it is VERY capriccios  reader.
