Well I was not going to write about this here as I find that there is less interest than in other places but as i spend lots of time on the site had second thoughts and decided to give it an airing .
Following the various comments on a number of forums but also the positive view of @Lurch on the Mutec 3+ USB reclocker I found a very good priced one some motnhs ago and installed it in my Main Music system - Allo Digione Signature Player - BNC SPDIF to Minidsp DDRC 22D - XLR Digital to Mutec 3+ XLR Digital - dCS Purcell upsampler - 2 x XLR Digital - dCS Delius DAC - RCA Phono to NVA 60P Power Amp - NVA LS2 Cable to Quad ESL 57 . The Mutec when inserted made a very positive and musical difference . But somehting was not quite all there and I decided to take the MiniDSP out of circuit and connect the Allo Digione directly using BNC to the Mutec . THis mada a very large difference and has produced the best sound I have heard from this system since I put it together . A friend and fellow wammer came round and without any prompting from me confirmed it was the best he had heard my system sound . So wonderful and there it should have stayed .
The @Lurch makes another comment regarding altering the Mutec from the SMPS inside the unit to an LPSU and says a mutal friend does this . So nothing I can do despite the great sound I am getting it starts to eat away at me and I sent my Mutec off to have the internal power supply removed and a 2.5mm plug replace the main input . Now I will be able to use an offboard LPSU and convert the Mutec .
Now I have been a little obsessive about LPSU in the chain in my systems and have mutliple LPSU,s fitted to everything so this I have to admit does appeal to me and even if it does nothing but make the change it will make me feel happy to have removed another SMPS from the mains . The Mutec has now been converted and will be back with me next week so will make any comments then . Sadly given the time delay it will not be possible to do a before and after comparison . However I have been invited to another music lover to visit him and he has an original Mutec so we can do a back to back with his system and then bring to my home and try it the same there as they say watch this space .
