Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status


I recently had the good fortune of upgrading my stock Synergistic Research MPCs closer to Galileo Status by the help of a friend who is inclined to do such work.

He replaces the Synergistic MPC's four cheap, general purpose lamp rectifier diodes with four ultra fast, soft recovery IXYS rectifier diodes and the 470uf 50 volt dirt cheap chinese electrolytic cap with a 680uf Panasonic FM extremely low impedance, high ripple current, long life (7000 hrs). It is now a super low noise power supply.

This mod provides better shielding to Synergistic Research cables resulting in more transparency, blacker backgrounds, increased detail and warmth with even lower noise floor than stock MPCs.

I was really taken aback by the improvements mentioned above. When considering the cost of a Galileo MPC, this mod is a downright bargain.

The cost of this mod will be $40-50. I can provide contact information for additional questions regarding components and price.

Hi Michael,
Would definitely like to pursue this V2 MPC upgrade on my two year lod pair of SR Elemental Tungsten interconnects(5M)  Can you please respond with your contact info?
Thanks
Pat
I had Michael do the upgrade to my Quattro and was extremely happy with the improvement, I just recently replaced it with a Transporter SE Ultra. There was an improvement but not a large as going from the stock MPC to the modified Quattro.
I had Michael do his MPC V2 Mod to a pair of 5m Elemental Tungstens.  It really opened up the soundstage, much quieter background with unbelievable micro dynamics, tighter imaging and control which overall made for a more realistic, musical presentation.  Hard to describe....increased the details yet removed the "glare" if that makes sense.  On some tracks the cymbals would seem to be way out front and dominate the presentation, after the mod, the cymbals are just as detailed, but the "ringing" is gone and they are in the correct spot in the soundstage....much more realistic.  I've read others describe it as "more detailed yet smoother"......my guess is the decay is much more accurate on all instruments and therefore much more realistic and appealing.  
I just had Michael do the MPC V2 mod on a pair of IC's from source components...same result.  A pleasure to work with Michael and a real bargain in this wonderful hobby!  
I also had Michael perform his magic on my stock MPC. It made more of an improvement than I could have hoped for. I would recommend this upgrade to everyone with a stock MPC.
