Freya + ( Plus) Capacitor Mods - Reposted and Flagged My Last Post for Removal


Hey there folks,

Looks like there could be a cottage industry for Freya + mods. I recently read about some of them and am at least interested in the capacitor upgrade. Here's the article if you want to read about it: 

Now comes the question: Who can do these mods safely and if they can be done  safely, can we establish the AMG equivalent of a Freya +? 

 

Respectfully,

Tubes can make a difference, to be sure.   So do caps.   However, the losses in a capacitor are well understood and documented.  I get suspicious on capacitors that state they are '... so much better ...' but give no specs other than some mechanical dimensions.   Sure they might be good but how would we know?  Buy them, find out, and then discover they are not returnable?  Hardly. 

Don't get me wrong, they might be great but without a datasheet and some loss specs, I am not forking out any of my money.  Without that, we are only guessing they are better than WIMA, who does publish the loss specs.
