BOLDER Modded Squeeze Box Owners Audition List
« on: 6 Mar 2007, 04:00 pm »
I have received a few requests from people who wish to audition a BOLDER modded SB.

The BOLDER Cable Company performs a service, modding owners SB. We do not sell the modded SB.

Perhaps there are some owners of modded SBs out there who would be willing to allow potential SB owners to audition the unit in their systems.

If you are willing to invite others into your home to listen to your modded SB, please post your information in this sticky.

Please include:

* Where you live.

* The product you own ( SB2, SB3, analog mod with Gold Bybees, digital mod, modded Elpac PS, etc)

* Associated gear and setup.

* The best way to reach you.

Please do not post your address or phone number.

Thank you all very much,

Wayne

Anyone not currently using their fully modded SB3? I really want to try one out (both the analog direct into my amp and as a wirelss GO between my computer and DAC).

I have lots of references and would gladly pay all shipping (I live in SE Michigan). Just thought I'd ask, you can PM me....Best,



BTW: Nice set-up, George
