We all understand the importance of the output cap in our Lampi dacs. I see the input cap just behind the RCA input is rather unknown and not a known quality brand like Duelund or Jensen. Ever wonder what a cap upgrade in this position would do? T...

Tas, please let us know when your mod is complete. Also, feel free to email me with any questions if you run into some confusion along the way.Be sure to use a good solder. WBT with 4% silver is one good choice. Be sure to tin or coat any exposed ...

Mapman, soldiers do and have done the bidding of man is a truth. Soldiers can also do the bidding of God. Yes, this truth has been perverted by man with all kinds of unspeakable things being done in the name of God and God was no part of it. Man's...

Schubert,You say Van the Man is dumbing down? You cannot be serious? You must have not listened to most of his non-pop/rock hit music? As you must know we live in a fallen world and everything under the sun is corrupt and corrupted. Soldiers are n...

Kclone I am very familiar with both caps and just looked at your system. The quick answer is yes to your thoughts. You are correct in general terms. You have SS amps and an already revealing system based on what I see. Now the only question is wha...

Thanks Ric. I did all the damping with the Wimas. That is something I have always done. No, I did not let them play for days as I could not stand the etched sound. I always wait for burn in, but after emailing you and knowing I had the wrong value...

Salectric, I also agree with you that personal preference can in some instances certainly play a role.Emailed Ric at EVS and I used the wrong value Wima as a bypass in my Lampizator and will try the mod again once I get the right value. I will rep...
