Modifying WM1Z/A

Cotton isn’t good for insulation, but good for dampening the skin effects. Those coils are enameled right ?

you don’t have to sewn a cotton body together, you can go to homedepot and buy some robes, then pull out the cores and you are set

The foil cables are 1.5 inches wide. Do they have ropes that can cover that width?

Not sure, but 1.5” flat is like 0.75” diameter ? I think there is

No, look online first. I don’t want you to risk exposing to covid-19

anyways, I think I can only find 1/2 inch diameter . You may have to reconsider

Whitigir is it worth changing dmp caps ?
Like blackgates?
Why are those caps even considered so badass? What sony cant beat them?

 

[hshock76]

Yes wm1z + mod is very exciting but WoW Dmp + Mod holy masterpiece this is total alien best technology ever

One step at a time my friend. You seem to be always getting ahead of yourself but I can't deny the entertainment value of your posts... again in a positive way.

I am afraid to have to much silver in the chain.

But indeed I had this conversation with him.
He totally hates pw1960 lmao.
He think that this cable is not worth the parade it gets.


Have you heard hes sensation pure silver?
He claims absolutely no treble peacks very accurate and smooth cable


He offered me the cable for 1600 cad $

DMP Caps can be improved, but whether it is worth it or not ? I can not speculate. In order to carry out a development for mods, it needs a lot of time and dedications. It isn’t simply pulling and replacing parts. There are other engineering parameters that you will have to understand, and then you have to study the hardware of the device to realize which one does what, and then to consider which parts at which parameter and which sound signatures you want to achieve

after that will be pulling , replacing parts, over and over until satisfactory

hardware modifications isn’t like making cables my friends

Blackgate capacitors are good, because they are ....well...rare!! And back in those days, they were also top in the class. However, human, we always strive for the “rarity, and collectible” items right ? I don’t use Blackgate and so my recipe is a mixtures of different kinds

Why can’t Sony outperform other stuff ? Because....they are different kinds, and they serve different purposes. Sony always prioritize “longevity, long term reliability”.

But let’s put it correctly ...Sony doesn’t have to use the best of the best ...they only need to be better than the competitions, which they already are. Could you find any of those Polymer caps inside AK SP2000 yet ?

Romi seems to be a very opinionated and straight forward person... I've discussed his Mod strategy with MS previously and the reply I gathered was they can't comment but they respect Romi's work as he is a full time modder. Well I still have a stock 1Z sitting around so I may just pull the trigger if I gather enough motivation to do so... and I will prob get the cable as well just to evaluate how well it works as a complete setup.. Similar to me using PW1960s with the K-Mod player although I must say that I am having heaps of pleasure with the Horus now and considering upgrading to Horus Octa. I really am not sure what else I want more from my current K-Mod setup. It's just so ridiculously delicious with Helios FW. The depth, the holographic nature, layering, imaging and everything else is so balanced. I am sure you will get a similar level of enjoyment when you get your player back....... if you manage to stop thinking of what to upgrade next for once and focus on listening to the music.

Well its hard to say. Definitely I am good with my tia noir and I do like pw1960 as it has impressive air soundstage and what it does with the bass is madness!

If I go with silver sensation in 1z and add sensation cable it might get to analytical I fear.
Maybe as mix of silver in 1z and pw1960 as a cable it can do a hybrid flavor and come out quiet wow ?

As I really dont know how is sensation I am not even 50% sure.

My heart and soul is whispering me to go with the mix approach and see then what happens.

As you all guys know my tiger ears are not gonna be happy with neutral analytical flavor.
This is where pw1960 4wires does it secret magic )

My 2 cents would be...Stick with what you have for now. I don't think any portable setups will touch what you have coming.
You deserve a break from the tinkering, and have the perfect opportunity to just enjoy your KILLER setup, and listen to music that will blow your socks off.
It's important to know when to bow out of the RAT RACE

Thanks I do agree my current setup is one of the extreme rarity I am very fortunate to have this opportunity! I feel like this my life trophies as with time I gain from the audiophile journey.

I felt so in love with idea and my end game setup.
That I have quit spotify I purchased all my favorite albums that I collected in spotify for past 4.5 years!
Now I have them all in wav! More then half of it is even 24bit +
I spen 1600$ Canadian in 1 day on all of them. So I am in total supremacy of end game in portable gear.

I am so so proud of my move! I finally did it!

Would anyone can share the Helios FW so that I can try it in my Romi BG modded / Tier 4 1A?
