Balancing an L3000, which are the benefits?


Recommended Posts

That's OK, there isn't much talk about the L3000 anyway.

I have an L3000 recabled with a balanced APS v3 cable. I use it with an adapter because I don't have a balanced amp yet.

I've compared it with a stock L3000 and I thought the recabled unit sounded better. More open, a bit more air and a larger soundstage. A bit less bass quantity too, but tighter and even more accurate bass.

The differences weren't large, but they were enough that I thought the recable was worth doing.

WRU balanced amp :(

Hehe, someone remembers.

I'm OK with the waiting, I'm in no big rush. I want Mikhail to (eventually) get the Supra-XLR's faceplate fixed because I think he didn't do a good job of adding a second volume control and second SE headphone output.

Since I received the ES-1 at the end of Sept. I've been very pleased with it. I've been in contact with Mikhail on and off since and recently bought two tubes and some adapters. He's still erratic, sometimes responsive sometimes not so much. He was definitely responsive when I asked about the adapters.
