New Black Lion mod for 002R/003R
There’s a new mod available by Black Lion Audio for 002R/003R (note not for fader users) called ‘220 / 270SP Signature Series’.
From Black Lion Audio
It features our proprietary A/D and D/A circuit configurations and high speed, low noise analog stages. Low impedance, low ripple Sanyo OS-Con capacitors are used throughout the signal path and converter stages. Analog stage headroom is increased by 20dB over the stock 002.
Worth to note here is that the headroom for 003R is increased by 15dB over the 002R according to Black Lion themselves. This makes me question how much improvement that’s actually been made on the 003R.
Sound examples on the modded 002R compared to DAV, Chandler Germanium and UA LA 610 preamps are available here on Black Lion Audio.
Price is $1250.
