DIY is a route to great sonics & is cost effective. However, the source must be of best quality too. Vinyl is a no brainer for the most part, but CD players & FM tuners are an issue.
I find if a device has an op-amp in it, substandard performance will result. I never got around this issue with replacement op-amps either.
After owning many tuners I settled on a Scott L112B. Outperforms any op-amp based tuner I owned for excellent audio performance with a natural sound. All tuners I owned were upgraded with a superior power supply and high quality coupling capacitors. Even though the Scott tuner is solid state, it has a good multiplexer and outperforms tube type tuners I owned in the past in stereo mode. I also am modifying a Scott 312C with a tube output section.
As for my modded Magnavox CDB 582 CD player with a TDA1541A chip, it falls short compared to vinyl playback.
Have you found the same op-amp issue as I?
