Any chance someone could post before/after shots of the insides when they get this done?

Today is a good day. I talked to Doug today he told me to send my V3 in for the mod.

You don't want to wait for the poll before sending it? I think someone will be putting up a poll: Oade ACM V3 vs. stock V3

I am actually waiting for the poll before considering and also want to know the final price including all shipping costs before deciding if it is really worth it. I'm actually already very pleased with the stock V3 sound.

me too.  the sound is great as is, so the price would have be reasonable to decide if a marginal sound quality increase would even be worth it.  although doug is the best in the biz when it comes to upgrade mods so it might be worth it, i dunno.

Spoke to Doug in regards to the mod, it runs at US$175 (US$140 if V3 purchased from Oade).

How transparent is the v3’s analog stage at zero gain?

Would signal>unmodded v3>analog out>acm mod v3 be more representative than two different rigs?

the V3 (unmodded) has a minimum of 10dB gain.

yes, but cant you switch this off with the internal jumpers?

there are internal jumpers for a -20 dB pad.  so I guess you could run it with the pad and then run at 20 dB of gain for unity.

but I guess I'm missing how the unmodded V3 > analog > mod V3 would give you a good comp.  presumably you'd have to add gain on the mod V3, and then if you went digi-out from the unmodded V3 to a different recorder, the levels of the two recordings would be way off.

I think the ideal way to run it would have a single pair of mics to a seperate phantom power supply (like a denecke PS-2) or something.  then run a splitter after the phantom, one signal into a regular V3, and the other to a modded V3.  match the levels on the two units, and you'd be all set.

Hey from dougs description of the mod it sounds like he is doing only work to the analog circuitry of the front end to the a/d  sounds like op amps.... if the gain is going up...

I wonder if he really has changed the chip. If it is a chip change could it be  buffers or op amps in a network. Is there a replacement to the current a/d chip pin for pin on the market? If so I got to think the traces will have to change. These chips run on the hairy edge of squirrelly LOL... If the chip has changed has the noise floor gone down? Not that we need it LOL.

I would love to hear from Doug what the mod includes from a schematic or block diagram perspective to get a handle on whats going on... Even with out values on caps op-amps resistor networks  etc... Sorry its the EE and v3 owner in me cant help myself


Thanks
A

I know we have been talking about this for a few months now so is there going to be a comp coming? Even if there's an improvement (or no improvement) I guess a lot of us would like to hear it.
