PS Audio DLIII with Cullen Stage 4 Upgrades
« on: 24 Jan 2016, 10:46 pm »
Hi all,

I have a PS Audio DLIII with Cullen Stage 4 mods that I'm looking to sell. The unit is silver and in immaculate condition. The modifications are done by Richard Cullen of Cullen Circuits (who originally designed the DLink 3) and are his ultimate Stage IV modifications which include the following:


STAGE 4 CULLEN MOD features:
* Replace 28 resistors in the audio signal path with Dale Rn55d copper leaded parts.
* Replace 11 electrolytic capacitors with audio grade Muse caps.
* Replace 8 FET's in the DAC’s output stage with hand matched low noise parts.
* Install ERS EMI/RFI Suppression cloth.
* Install WBT NexGen 210cu RCA jacks.
* Install clock modification board that replaces the 2 stock clocks with new Cullen designed clocks with ultra low jitter. This is done to both the clock and CODEC.

The results are:

-It is warmer with a more liquid midrange. The little glare of the stock unit is now gone with a more liquid presentation.
-The unit is Quieter. Backgrounds are BLACKER, thus resolving even more low level Detail with better ambiance retrieval.
-Bass slam and extension are dramatically improved with fuller weight and authority. The DAC now sounds more like big buck units that sell an the $3k to $5k range
-Transparency is improved and you can now look farther into the soundstage as Stage width and depth are both improved.

This originally went for $1740 and I'm asking $750 OBO. I'll pay for shipping in the CONUS, you pay for PayPal if not using a standard bank account transfer (I'll also take Chase Quick Pay).

Please let me know if you have any questions!
