Up for sale is a heavily moddied John Tucker Exemplar Denon DVD-3910 in black. It is in perfect condition, as I can't find a mark on it except underneath the screws. All of Exemplar's upgrades (except XLR outputs) were done to this unit. According to John Tucker the RCA outputs sound just as good as the XLR’s because they benefit equally from Exemplar's balanced audio circuit upgrade, so the xlr’s are not necessary. All standard functionality is maintained, and everything is installed within the Denon 3910. EXTRA NOS GE tubes are included which are John's favorite. This unit has about 150 to 200 hours of use on it.
I've owned a Audio Research CD-7 and sold that for this model as I enjoyed the Exemplar 3910 more.
• INCLUDES the critical "post-DAC mods" (Post-digital-to-analog converter).
NOTE: Many Exemplar 3910s do not include this essential upgrade
Extra set of NOS GE tubes included for the tube output stage, Siltech internal wiring, upgraded female RCAs, new clock, lots of high end capacitors, etc.
Can use any of the following tubes:
• 5965 , 6829, 7062, E180CC, or CV8431 (direct plug ins)
• Includes Siltech wiring upgrade
• The power supply rectifiers are upgraded
• Several critical caps are replaced with Blackgates
• The AC power input is hardwired§ with upgraded wire, replacing the 3 mechanical connections in the stock unit
• 5 new independent high performance shunt regulators are added to the unit
