My Journey to Digital Nirvana Part 1
David99, I agree with you. The Xindak is one of the most unappreciated bargains in the digital world. I did have a few issues, so I returned it. I regret it at times for in a second system it would be just fine for me. It does a lot of thing right...

Aldavis, richard was politely, invited to participate, add his commentary, in a profeswsional, advisory manner. He chose to throw stones. Not us. I do agree we should let him skulk back into his hole, if he has nothing positive to add.My feeling a...

BBBaaaa, bbaaaa, Richard, get a life, and learn your trade. Alex's mods are the BEST I have ever heard. Yours are not. Guess you just can't stand a guy putting this together in a couple years. You must be resting on past laurels buddy. You are wro...

Carmontom, I hear ya, feel ya, and have been relegated to HT myself. Alex has MY machine in Vegas at the CES show. I told him it was more important to take care of his other customers first. I overnighted mine last thursday for 158 bucks, ughhh, b...

Richard, I am the guy who has owned the APL, Exemplar, and have a Modwright on order. In all my research, Over 1000 hours on the net, I felt most comfortable with these guys, to trust with my money. I have read some some threads on AA which made m...

Krisgel, I hear ya, Alex is a 1 man show, he is an engineering genius, but, a half ass business man. I am sure you will love the modwright, it is a great machine. It just is not in the same league IMHO. Good thing is, you are paying A LOT less.

Ozzy, Alex is at the CES show now, he does the Mods in his garage with his fiance. Email me with your # and I will give it to him. He has my 3910 with him right now. 
Is the Exemplar 3910 clearly superior to the 2900?
Kana813you keep reading and dreaming. Tbg snd I will keep buying, trying, and smiling.

Tbg, my 3910 had about 600 hours on it when we made the initial comparisons. My APL had about 100 hours, no clock, and missing a few other tweaks. I love them both, and may in fact buy another Exemplar if the price is right. IMHO the APL is still ...

Kerry, I have talked with Brainwater, A fellow audiogon member who has owned the Reimyo, and felt Alex's SACD 1000 with all the latest mods bettered it. He is now waiting for the 3910. If you look up his systems, you may feel the same trust for hi...

I received my Empress interconnects about 3 weeks ago, at first they were a bith bright and harsh, with almost too much detail and high end. I waited patiently for burn in, they are truely wonderful cables, they took 3 weeks to burn inn. The music...
