Guessin' he meant specs . . .
btw I'm enjoyin' all your tech talk and I'm sure others are soaking it up eagerly too.
I'm glad you started this thread sooner, and didn't wait until you'd got the whole kit assembled.

Sorry if you've already mentioned in one of your 'specs speeches' in the other thread
but have you hot-rodded your players analog audio section and/or CX decoder?
Do you expect your Hercules will have much cleaner audio signal than for example Elite'97 ?

And before I officially announce my project to capture ESB'80 soundtrack,
can you tell us how badly my V8000's analog CX decoder is compromised by its industrial design goals?
How does it stack up agaist others in the consumer lineup wrt analog audio ?

The audio section is one of the better features of this player, its own r-core transformer and exotic capacitors etc. It will sound a bit better but the Cld-97 is one of the best Pioneer made in that regard, so its not night and day. One of the reasons McIntosh labeled their own player from a Cld-97. The audio section in the V8000 is baseline spec, no special capacitors and seperate power system. If you changed all the caps with panasonic Fm or fc and built your own power supply for it after checking dc voltage input on the card or section. That could tidy up the audio a bit.

Just be lucky your not me when i get my shipment of capacitors from Germany, 140 capacitors that im going to swap out and bypass with tight tolerance film caps.
