Though my new updated Bidat is too fresh but considering that I know very well how the Nichicon KZ progress with sound I think I can make some preliminary observations about the revised sound of my Bidat.
The change was not a large, less than I expe...

As I told before I picked recently a new interesting DAC and I got for it some AES/EBU cables. That made me to make the same Bidat vs. Lavry experiments only to use the AES/EBU interface with Lavry Gold. During those experiments I did not use S...

It is always surprised me why audio people never did what FM people did. FM people crated a site: http://www.FmTunerInfo.com where they enumerated in very consistent format all available FM tuners (with exemption of some pro tuners and som...

The "Super

The Bidat was originally designed with 3 separate crystal-based voltage controlled
oscillators. This was unique because we had the crystals specially made to be

I was so glad to stumble on to this site. It's amazing!I've been a Bidat owner since 1995 and I had the latest mods done by John Wright a year ago. Romy, it takes several months for those blackgate caps to fully calm down, but you are in for a t...

I admit I have too much fun lately with DACs. Whatever it is, my beloved 16bit DAC is back from the John Wright’s face lift. It is a third time when John does this specific Bidat. Interestingly that even John admits that for whatever reasons this uni...

Before announcing Lavry complete failure against Bidat when Lavry was driven by a CD transport I have to make a very important comment: in my case the transport was not a regular transport but the CEC-TL0, a know son of a digital bitch.

I need to add another output to my BiDat and I was wondering if there is anything special that I have to do. I really don't want to send it to John for three months just to be able to add another output for headphone amplifier.Thank you....

Spoke with John last night. It seems that the comments of the folks who did the modifications recently are not relevant and the new 2010 modification were not yet implemented on any DACs out there. The new modifications are mostly in PS and analo...
