Component Upgrade/Mods to share?


Anyone done their own little component upgrades on their amps/pre-amps/CD transports/DACs/passive crossovers, and wanna share/report their results? I have been looking at Tantalum/Vishay/Holco resistors, non-inductive wire-wound emitter resistors, BlackGate electrolytic capacitors, as well as Teflon-Film capacitors, and drooling all over the place...

anyone?

I am waiting for my speaker designer to get back to me with new values for Caps and Inductors. I asked those designers with experience with the particular drivers I am using to give me their opinions to which Caps,Inductors and resistors would work best.

After getting the vaues I will then switch out the caps first then the other parts as they breakin to see what effect are improving.

It is better to go slow on any changes that you are doing to make certain you are getting improved performance. Otherwise oyu might trip up the whole upgrading process.

I am experimenting with Cables also.

Good luck!
