Not the same but some time ago I swopped the NGK AXO for a TCXO in my Zhaolu 2.0 - to my ears there was no discernible difference.

I'm not 'shure' about the Dual but I do have a M3D which I bought new a while back Shortly after the V15 11 was available and the M3D has never been used, here's a photo.

TVaudio, Please don't take this as a sales pitch but if you still require some OPA627's please consider contacting me and although I'm not sure of your Silmic 11's requirements I do have some 47uf 50volts and 10uF 50volts, all pristine unused of course. It's also worth mentioning my prices...

I can see R18 and R19 also EC 15 on my photos but I'll be damned if I can find R40 & R41, I presume EC 15 changed to 1F means 1.0uF ?

Thanks for the prompt reply but I'm not sure that I should take you seriously, surely you realise that with some upgrading/tweaking of lets say basic capacitors to Elna , Stargets, Simics IIs, Evox MMks, Black Gates, Oscon SP on the supply lines etc. that Stanley Beresford could be onto a winner...

Here's a couple of photos of my Beresford TC-7510, if you could point me in the right direction of the recent upgrades I would be very appreciative. I can't help thinking that there is even more to come from this dac !

I bought mine from UK ebay member ID sranang_boi There are no units for sale at the moment but I'm sure within 24 hours there will be a choice of color dacs and a TEC pre-amp plus a couple of equalization or MM/MC phono stages.
