Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?

The Z foils cost me $14.34 each. There is always a resistor at the output for each channel. Volume indicated on the display requires 32 resistors for settings 32 thru 47. My listening range. That incomplete number of resistors and no other parts a...

I agree. I don't have a stock piece of gear in house. We will have a different take on the power supply. Can't have to much of the most important thing. Any plans from you on cap replacement or rolling of those parts after further play time? Tom

The Krell should be able to handle any reactive whip lash with out a Zobel network. The 220uf cap seems that it would be the bass filter for the 2 8ohm 8 inch mid-woofers wired in parallel that net 4 ohms combined for a 6db slope around 180hz. Tha...
