Binding post upgrade for Classe CAP-151?


Any recommendations for upgrading the stock (red/black) binding posts on my Classe CAP-151. It is an earlier model chassis with 4 bp's, vs. later models chassis w/8.

I'm NOT looking for anything that would require additional modifications to the chassis, or the binding post itself.

I'm also NOT looking for opinions or suggestions from those that have no specific knowledge or experience with this particular model/application.

Thanks for your help and cooperation.

Hello Gbart,

Could you hear the difference?

I own a ca-300 as well :-)

Replacing the Input caps is also an option.

There are power caps in signal way on the main print.
In the upper right corner 2 indentical capacitor and a red wima are in signal way on this picture.

I replaced them a view years ago with 1 red black gate of 100mf per channel. I want to try siemens mkv later. If it fits somewhere:-)

Did you needed to change something to standard holes in ca-300 to place the wbt 702?

I use only the balanced inputs of the classe CA-300. Therefore I have bypassed the entire op amp BB dual 2604 buffer stage print. The cables to the central amp print is now directly connected to the 3 white wires of balanced inputs. The white wires are disconnected from the buffer print.

This is the way go. This sounds so much better in every aspect This is a complete different amp. So much more detail, clean and power. Still warm and pleasant. Much more music :-)

If you would try, be carefull to isolate the connections very well. Dc is still on the buffer the print. I Did not disconnect powersuply of the print yet. Have to decide this later. (Use a Music first Audio classic as pre) Update will follow
