Quantum CD Transport!

Just received my Quantum Cd Transport. Custom built by a very talented engineer in Romania. If you are familiar with the Shiga Clone Story, You will know that Tibi Vical Took the shiga clone design, and redesigned the circuit brd. as a proper digital circuit brd. Then started replacing parts with the best parts he could find, that improved the sound. He even made a bunch of mods to the CD Mechanical drive. The transport sounder wonderful. And he sells it as a Kit, and completed tested Brds.
He then designed and had manufactured a beautiful chassis, made a few more improvements on the circuit brd. and Cd Mechanics, and is offering it as a complete CD Transport, called the Quantum.
S/N 003 went to a person in the Netherlands I think. He said it compared to any $10K transport out there. I never heard a $10K transport, so I can't compare.
I received S/N 004. I got it with the upgrade to a Dueland cast copper capacitor, and I sent him a length of VH Audio's Pulsar 75 ohm solid silver center conductor coax, and a WBT silver female RCA , to put from the output of circuit brd to the chassis output.
Now for the sound. With what I was using for a transport, cymbals always sounded a little dull with my 300B amp. Not anymore. Cymbals now sound just right. Bass is fuller. Vocals are unbelievable. And a first for me, Brush's on a drum actually sound like brush's on a drum.I always thought that was the hardest thing to get to sound right on an audio system. But now I have it.
I've only listened for an hour so far. As soon as I have Some hours of listening behind me I will wright a better review. but for now if you are interested on a bargain of a CD Transport, do a search for Vical Audio. You won't regret.
