C'mon man what's it do?

Jeongyong

200ohm 2EA are siemens nostalgie resistor [NOS]
1k ohm 2EA are NAT REL resistor [NOS].
10uF 16v caps are replaced by ROE Bipolar caps.
470pF cer cap is replaced by ROE MKC cap.
0.01uF cer caps are replaced by ROE KP1850 Polystyrol caps.

Sound is more warmer and fat.

"sound is more warmer & fat"

Could you post a MP3?

Does the CAPS replacement address the hiss problem a lot of us experience?

thanks- but im gettin a forbidden access message stopping me from hearing your work?? Crying or Very sad

Well, I was able to listen. Apart from the digital artefacts noise coming through these compressed files, it seems this has nothing to do with the hiss issue as I can still hear it in the noisefloor.

As for the A/B, they both sound similar to me on a pair of Senny HD650.

cheers

thanks i got a listen on my emes monitors..
can def hear the minimal hiss Sad

(i have intermittant hiss on 8,3,6)
and have to agree with above- very similar-
i guess i was expecting a much greater improvement- but i love the sp the way it is Smile

many thanks
keep experimenting!!great ideas..

psoul

this are the caps to recaps to avoid noise...

Sorry man,

I checked the sound clips on my Spirit Absolute Zero monitors & Sony MDR-V6 headphones & seriously all I can hear is a very slight (almost unnoticeable) difference in volume.

The first beat being quieter.

The hiss I can hear seems to be on the actual 808 kick sample not from the SP.

Jury is still out on them caps as Drinks had them replaced recently & they have gone again.

Good for you though man i would never have the nerve to mess with my SP like that.
