SONIC FRONTIERS LINE 3...TUBES & CAPS upgrade

That is a good rate and Chris knows his creation and after you listen to it for awhile you could tell tell him what your looking to change in terms of sound quality. Because he created it he will know what to do for you. A good tech is not a designer.......they are two different things.......different talents.

In terms of the preamp and parts. You have two places to look for the biggest bang for the sonic dollar. The output caps should be replaced with the new Jupiter copper foil caps. They are simply the best I have heard.

Your volume control, if it is an Alps or some other pot, then replace it with a nice Shallco stepped Attenuator if you can fit it. Huge improve with these two mods. Thirdly, look at the power supply caps. If they are all electrolytic types, then replace with Clarity TC high voltage film caps.

Test, your comment is not exactly the whole truth and certainly spun to your particular bias on and of Chris.

Botton line is Chris understands his designs and is in a position to tune the sound better. Pretty simple line of logic. He also understand the electronics and design principles in his units.

My point exactly and one the poster should very much consider.

Trying to help is all, but it seems you really are not interested in help. Good luck with the project.
