And now for something completely different:

 

5.Allnic L4000 Linestage (renamed L3000) with the upgraded larger transformers. 9/10 condition. Retail for $12,000. 6moons audio reviews: Allnic Audio L-4000 & A-6000 I am upgrading to the L5000. Will sell for $6,500 and have extra tubes. The tubes last years.

 

6. Museatex BIDAT + AV Center + 100W Amp.

 

John Wright who used to work with Ed Meitner in the 1980’s-1990’s has kept the Meilor/Museatex line running over the years. I have had these units modified twice and the BIDAT three times. They too are in excellent condition but give 8/10 due to age. Currently I am trialing BIDAT vs EMM LABS DAC2X vs Empirical Audio Overdrive DAC SE with full Paul Hynes Mods and CUTF caps. This BIDAT is the only one ever upgraded with an EMM LABS power supply; therefore, is limited to 120V/60Hz. I found it bested the DAC2x regarding a more natural, vinyl sound that is more lifelike. It is however limited to 20/48. It will process 24 bit music but cuts the last 4 bits. It will not play over a sampling rate of 48 kHz. Any larger sampling rate would require re-sampling. Like the Overdrive DAC, it does have a volume control. The volume is adjusted by changing the reference voltage of the D/A conversion. I personally never used it and do recommend a preamp. My understanding is that the low end has less oomph when the preamp is omitted. All three units are piano black mahogany. This makes a stellar system.

 

The BIDAT + 100W amp + AVcenter preamp set $5000.

 

Shipping by Fedex, insured. Buyer pays by Paypal, or wire transfer. N. America buyer preferred.

 

Thank you for reviewing....

Too bad your Sotm PCIe to USB is a PCI express card. I need a PCI version as I don’t have an express slot on my motherboard.

 

The Museatex BiDAT is an excellent DAC. I just sold mine this last summer.

[kevalin]

Coxhaus, what did you replace your bidat with? I too believe this dac is very hard to beat. The EMM labs powersupply really made a difference this last cycle of upgrades, summer 2012. I subsequently purchased the EMM labs per Chris' review. It was a step backwards from the Bidat, although it offers dsd. The Lampizator 7 with dsd and balanced outputs (yes they will make one with balanced outputs) is my next direction. Since you owned a BIDAT, I am very curious what direction you chose.

[coxhaus]

Well you know my BiDAT was sold due to an error in my power isolation. The power isolator I installed first go around was 600VA 220 volts unit. This unit only provided power for the DAC and preamp. I was in my new music room and a lot was going on and changing. The BiDAT now sounded lean and not like it sounded before in the other room so I let a friend talk me out of it. I finally decided the power isolator was too small and replaced the unit with a 5000 watt unit divided into 2 separate circuits. Boy was the sound better but it was too late for the BiDAT as it was all ready gone. I am now using the AMR 777 which is a very good USB DAC.

The only issues with the BiDAT in my opinion were it had a smaller sound stage than most top units and the very top air was a little lacking but I loved the saxophone out of the BiDAT. I think I would still be using it if not for the above.

Hi Kevalin,

 

Is the SOtM gear still for sale?

[kevalin]

Hi Kevalin,

 

Is the SOtM gear still for sale?

 

Yes.

[Afveep]

Is your RLI-1still available?

[Harpy]

Would you sell the SOtM mBPS-d2s Intelligent Battery Power Supply separately?

[kevalin]

Harpy, I prefer to sell them as a unit, as SOtM sound card alone needs a linear PS or something.

 

Afveep, the RLI-1 is still available. I would encourage you to pay extra and order a new the GISO 1GB. I switched for a reason. RLI-1 is wonderful but the GISO is better. RLI-1 is in perfect condition.

Re the RLI-1- thanks so much for the suggestion of the GISO- I'll take a look. Where can they be purchased here in the US?

you need to order it direct from europe. I do not know a US dealer. Paypal.

 

Thank you very much for your interest in our GISO GB. The price for GISO GB incl. one 50cm CAT cable is 349,- EUR, for you in USA minus 19% VAT, thus about 293,- EUR plus 15,- EUR shipping, resulting in 308,28 EUR total.

 

 

If you want to order, just write me a short mail please. Then you will receive an invoice and you can pay it via Paypal or wire transfer.

 

 

---my unit came in 4 days.

 

I suggest getting the 1 gb version.

[Afveep]

Thank you!
