[QUOTE="Mars, post: 1124159, member: 817"] I have had a question regarding upgrades. Here are some components that can be upgraded without changing the design: [LIST=1] [*]connectors [*]coupling capacitors [*]filter capacitors [*]tube sockets [*]volume control [*]transformers [/LIST] The amplifier comes standard with [LIST=1] [*]regular Taiwan RCA sockets x 4. Binding posts screw type that also accepts banana plugs x 4 [*]Panasonic/Kemet/Vishay Metalized Polyester Film Capacitor x 2 [*]Profoto 600uF 500 (two in series for a total of 300uF) x 6 [*]ceramic or bakelite types [*]PIHER or ALPS 100kA dual pot [*]laminations in transformer = EI lossless NOSS type [/LIST] Upgrade options [LIST=1] [*]Neutrik or Switchcraft comes to mind - add R2000 [*]much to choose from - prices vary [*]Sprague does 680uF 350V [*]teflon or other CNC types [*]stepped attenuator [*]output transformer iron upgrade to M6 Grain Oriented Silicon Steel EI laminations - add R2000 [*]output transformer iron upgrade to C-cores - add R3000 [/LIST] Most obvious upgrade would be to upgrade the connectors and the transformer core type. (R4000 total add on) This list is a work in progress - comments and suggestions welcome [/QUOTE]
