I just received Solen 700 v 2. uf silver polyprops in the mail for the V12.
Signal coupling caps. They are some good caps,
The new upgraded PS with the Superfred. I used turret board and alu angle for the mount.. ;-)
The Silver/gold supremes went from coupling to decoupling and EVO supremes silver/gold went into the coupling cap position, for the power valves.
Every change has made a difference. I'm breaking in the EVOs now.
they are still a little wonky. A lot of difference from the ones that were broke in...Couple weeks at least, 100-150 hours start sounding really good.
What a fun little project, easy to work on.. Sound is truly reference quality and just getting better..
The only thing I haven't done that I think would make a big difference is the wire in the signal and power tube side. Cary now does the upgrade with Kimber wire.. I have some pure silver #20 SC PTFE, I know is better wire..
This is when amps go from 3-5000.00 to 5-10,000.00 in SQ. 400.00 worth of parts, total. This amp is burned into my head, I think I could work on it blindfolded.
I've also started rerouting wire, what a rats nest.. looks better.. Sloppy
sloppy work... I guess they are all this way.. Sure sound good.
Now looks better under the hood too. ;-)
Regards
