APL NWO2.5 ?

Alex, your explanation corroborates my empirical findings. I found the Shunyata Anaconda Helix Alpha much preferable to my ears to its shielded VX sibling on X-01. See:

Still no silver though. . . and complexly braided to boot.

I did try to fly to the Bay area all of last year, but all opps fizzled. Closest I will get in the next month will be L.A. . . . but I am working on some new opportunities that may bring me to the SF area before long. Stay tuned Alex! G.

The NWO is just AMAZING in the quality of musicality, along with more definition, of detail I have ever heard from a digital player. I am smiling, happy, and even content. This has been a LONG journey, searching for the finest in musical reproduction....I have found it.

Congrats 711! Maybe you'll let me hear it one day?

Enjoy!

I started this thread.... so I'm butting in.
I have a question for Alex; I just bought a Denon 3910 from Mike at Hotrod mods. It is a stage II mod w/your output board and super clock. How does this player compare to your full mod 3910? Will I be happy?
I talked with you briefly about the NW0-2.5 conversion of my Esoteric X-01. I made the choice to sell my Esoteric and keep my wife...

Apologies to Peterb.... I did not start this thread...oopps
