ok so how do i attach the bleeder resister safely? Is it safe to take up the power supply board and just solder the resistor onto one of the caps? Do you have to be careful when doing this, too?- Miller-8

LOL mine isnt as neat as that, mine is a mess. I've only just started soldering. Anyway i tried to undo that chassis screw that you connected the ground to but it wont budge, so I've just slotted the ground wire into the crevice in the corner where the metal folds over. Hum is greatly reduced...- Miller-8

Thanks. Havent yet connected the ground to the chassis but i've plugged in in to try it. A few things I've noticed: 1. There is a low hum that wasnt there before, not very loud but noticable when no music playing. Perhaps this will go when I connect the ground wire to the chassis? 2. I can...- Miller-8

Hello chaps I now have an Alps Blue to fit to my 708B, am I best to remove the little circuit board thing that the original pot it attetched to and solder the wires straight to the Alps? Also you know the little nodule on the Alps do you cut that off or make a wee hole for it to fit into?- Miller-8

Modifying the Xiang Sheng 708B [56K!!!!]
