Gilbert Yeung C312 Preamplifier Review

Looking inside his work always made me wonder how the heck any repair work could be done? Seems it would be difficult. I am sure the unit sounds fantastic and I know first hand how good his hybrid amps sounded years ago. Lot of silicone to remove to access parts and solder joints.

Is the silicone used here easy to remove off of wires and solder connections? Or is it as I think and an absolute mess to deal with post build? Always wanted to ask these questions.

Again, his builds sound great as I have owned several of his pieces years ago. Never tried to mod one or repair one however. Sometimes parts fail and work needs to be done before the 20 year life of the electrolytic capacitors. Stuff just happens.

Thank you for responding. Makes sense where the silicone meets solid parts like caps. Where he encases hook-up wire and soldering tabs on connectors it may be more problematic. Still an interesting approach to unwanted vibrations and potential noise/smearing.
