Transport & tweaks for audio logic 24MXL


I just bought an audio logic 24 MXL with Marigo apparition digital rca and it sounds good with stock denon 3910.

Would i improve performance significantly with better transport? I want to stay below $ 1000 used unless there is huge gain. How is CEC TL51Z?

Are there tweaks with power cords or NOS tubes?

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot guys. I tried the DAC with $70 philips dvd player, denon 3910 & modwright 999es. They all sound different with the 999 producing the best result.

I just got a new TL51X today and it bettered all the other transport. More details, weighty and full and improved spatial clues. One thing i did not expect was the improvement in macrodynamics. I thought i was going to get the Apl 3910 but i am pretty happy with the sound. may be I am done for now.

What are your favourite NOS tubes with the audio logic?
Glai:
Rcprince's experience with tubes from his use in the previous response are all good recommendations and are all in the upper crust of the 6922 tube family. There are a wide selection of tubes in this family, spanning from "modest and affordable" to really expensive. You might find it helpful to try a small selection of "affordable" choices to get a taste of the changes you will find in your system. In addition to Siemens and Telefunken, you might want to look closely at the Ameperex family: there are a lot of choices. I have had very good success with carefully selected Brimar ECC88's.
Thanks guys. I got a pair of Holland Amperex 5922 and they are a worthwhile upgrade. The Purist audio Dominus is also superb.
btw- for digital cables w the 24MXL, I can't recommend the Marigo Labs 5.7 Sig highly enough...
