Jason Tee Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Hello bros. Is there such a Black Box which is said to improve the SQ of any setup. it is place between the CD player and stereo amp. Did any bros here come across such devices?
Jason Yeo Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 There is quite a lot . An example is this http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/orthospectrum_ar2000.htm . I am using the DR-3000 for digital input now. It make great difference to me . AR2000 is for analogue input .
Jason Tee Posted March 2, 2007 Author Posted March 2, 2007 where can i buy a similiar version locally? at $1.5k USD i feel its way off for such a device. are there cheaper known versions in sg?
Jason Yeo Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I bought my DR-3000 from RTL Audio and Music . It is at 1,fifth ave. The guy is Kitazawa-san . For cheaper typed, you can look it from Adelphi . I believe I seen it before in some shops but forget which liao :P However , don know the impact coz never tried it before. For pure Audiophile, they usually do not like the idea to get anything in between CD and pre/amp and to speakers . But before you invest on anything else, I strongly recommend you to do acoustic treatment FIRST. Nothing can compare to room treatment .
SiriuslyCold Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 heh ;) seriously though - 6moons says RTL Audio are the worldwide distributors... perhaps we can cask them to open one up and take a pic
Jason Yeo Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I also don know what is inside ;D But after t-loaned from him and tested it for 2 weeks, kana stuck and just bot it . I m surprise even digital signal can be improved and enhanced. Btw, I am referring to DR3000 and not AR2000 ;). Is it worth the slight improvement ??? I don know , just like powercord and conditioner ::) But again , I still feel acoustic comes first then can really justify the rest of "magic ???" stuffs ;D
SiriuslyCold Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 well, at least its in the signal chain, not like that devious little clock you can put anywhere in the room or pictures you put in the fridge...
synthesis1624705793 Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 well, at least its in the signal chain, not like that devious little clock you can put anywhere in the room or pictures you put in the fridge... Phew... I have a bigger clock in my living room and a couple of other small ones elsewhere. No wonder it sounds good. ;D
SiriuslyCold Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 you should do what dbchoong does, he has one digital clock, and one analog clock - both digital and analog sound great ;D
Jason Yeo Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 ...No wonder mine sounds bad . Need to invest on big digital and analogue clock liao

I don know , just like powercord and conditioner ::) But again , I still feel acoustic comes first then can really justify the rest of "magic ???" stuffs ;D Thank you bro Jason for your advice, I think I will do some acoustic treatment first to see how it can change the overall sound of mine setup before spending $$$ on other thing.
Jason Yeo Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Thank you bro Jason for your advice, I think I will do some acoustic treatment first to see how it can change the overall sound of mine setup before spending $$$ on other thing.
