Comments on: Toshiba 2960 Audio Board Mods http://jimmyauw.com/2006/10/25/toshiba-2960-audio-board-mods/ Tue, 15 May 2012 15:57:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Auw Jimmy http://jimmyauw.com/2006/10/25/toshiba-2960-audio-board-mods/comment-page-1/#comment-125101 Auw Jimmy Wed, 20 Oct 2010 17:37:18 +0000 http://jimmyauw.com/?p=65#comment-125101 Hi George, Interesting point of view... Since audio is very subjective, it's not useful for me to "review my own stuff"... are they good? probably... but who cares anyway about that? Doing the mods are enjoyable for everyone and sharing them is what I'm doing now. But listening the result is personal enjoyment that is hard to share (I share some though). My taste may not fit yours and vice versa. Just like you are watching cooking show on the TV. The taste of the cook is not important (you can't taste them anyway, it's just on TV - you just believe if the guy on the TV says it's tasty - but do they really tasty? no one knows). So the important is actually the way they cook, so you can repeat and try yourselves, not the cooking result itself on the TV. Thanks. Hi George,

However, It kills me that you never follow up on sound quality reports of your stuff. Just a thought. Hi, You have a lot of cool posts as I am tottaly into modding audio equipment too.

I really like the close-up pictures of the board!. I have a problem and am hoping you can help. I have the Toshiba sd3960; the circuit board is identical to your picture. I get great video but no sound. I think one or more of the electrolytic capacitor is bad but don't know how to find out. Sometimes I get some sound when first turned on, but goes out in a few minutes. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks Emilio Sturino Great. I really like the close-up pictures of the board!.

Saya tidak pernah buka Toshiba yang lain, mungkin kalo ada yang beli bisa diintip he he he. 2. Tidak pernah coba. 3. Secara teori sudah cukup, tapi hati2 karena dengan membypass buffer internal, akan risiko kabel yang panjang akan membuat masalah. Pastikan kabel dari output DAC cukup pendek dan langsung ke amplifier. Atau berikan buffer tambahan. Thanks. Hi,

Pengen coba2 juga mody sederhana mirip seperti di link ini http://johnswenson1.home.comcast.net/~johnswenson1/3950_mod/Toshiba_3950_3960_mods.html , tapi sayang toshiba seri sd 2960 sudah nggak ada lagi dijual orang. Pertanyaan: 1. Apa produk DVD Toshiba yang lain yang murah meriah tapi juga memakai DAC superior seperti SD-2960, atau sd 3950/60? 2. Kalau SD 590AK apa juga bagus buat di mody? Skarang (2010)dijual cuman lima ratusan doang... padahal 24bit 192 kHz juga. 3. Kalau di link di atas itu modif nya sangat simple. Ganti 2 capasitor coupling after DAC, langsung umpankan ke pre amp trus ampli. Katanya ini yang paling penting .... Jadi modifnya hemat sekali tapi sudah cukup superior. Apa komentar Oom JA? Terima kasih. Oom Jimmy,

I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it. God will appreciate it. Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
