Interfacing a Lexi LXP-1 to a balanced PB [message #66895]

I sent my LXP-1 to Audio Upgrades last week and Jim Williams is doing the
480L mod right now. There is some question as to whether I will need to
ground the shield of the 1/4" plug that is connected to the LXP-1 when
running the cable to a 1/4" balanced PB to be interfaced with Paris
input/output modules.

I didn't notice any drop in level when interfacing this way using TRS plugs
before I shipped it and Jim hasn't reported any fried opamps, but I'm just
curious (and I prefer my componentry raw, not fried ;o). Any of you guys
have any technical skinny on the A8iT/A8oT and Paris 20 bit I/O that would
indicate any reason for concern about this?

TIA,

Deej

He does a lot of stuff as far as upgrading componentry.
Google Jim Williams Audio Upgrades and give him a call. He's a gearhead so
he usually answers his phone at times when normal people wouldn't.

Hi,
The Jim Williams LXP-1 upgrade is a DA upgrade with a low noise version a
comparator upgrade some caps upgrade and +4 input instead of -10.
What you get is a better tail on your reverbs lower noise but algorithms
remain the same.
You won't get any 480L reverb from that.
I have don that also alone to my other LXP-5.
Well they sound better but nothing exteremely special.
Its all about algorithms.
Jim does a great job and he is a nice guy too.
If you wanna do an upgrade that is worth it try to get a LXP-15 with version
2 and the do the Jim Williams upgrade.

Regards,
Dimitrios
