Freya + ( Plus ) Capacity Mods
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,
John

@musiclover1 - The details for how the upgrade is done and the bill of materials required are in the article. They cap details are listed here (vcap odams). https://www.hificollective.co.uk/components/vcap_odam.html I contacted Driftwood Music in St. Charles, MO and their tech performed the upgrade for me. Rockstar results ensued,,, If you call Driftwood, ask for Pete.

Sure. What I notice is the reduced fatigue, even for recordings which are less than ideal (where I'm listening regularly). I attribute this to lower distortion in the mid to high frequency ranges and an improved crossover profile, at least as it pertains to my network and Maggie 1.7s. Some of this is likely exposed by the 6SN7 VT231GT tubes I'm running and some of this is also likely exposed by the Schiit Tyrs.
Future plans include an upgrade to Bluesound N130 from Fidelity Audio (I have the N130 plugged into a Schiit Bifrost 2 2/64) and eventually the Maggie 1.7s will be upgraded to the GR-Research crossover set.
