That's a good idea. I am in Los Angeles. I can ship it to anywhere in the USA.  If someone from Los Angeles can help me, that would be even better.  Thanks   Michael

I ordered some Nichicon capacitors and Bournes trimmers for my V1 Bravo.  I really suck at soldering and would like to ask if someone here can help me solder in these new components on my Bravo.  Thanks in advance.     Michael

I've been listening to my Matsu****a PCC88 for the past few day and I really like it. The mids are really smooth and the bass is punchy. The highs and mids are not as amazing as the pinched waist but better than the other 6922s I have. Norah Jones sounds so wonderful with this setup esp. with...

What is the difference between using 470uf and 1000uf (25v or 16v)caps? I am about to order some to replace the two in my Bravo with kz caps. Will 470 sound better? I was planning on replacing the same specs.

Thanks for the Dimensions guys. Time to order the plug and some additional things from mouser like the 2.2k bourns pots and some nichicon kz caps as well. This amp is going to be really sweet.

I am currently out of town and would like to order a DC plug for my linear power supply. Can someone please measure the DC plug dimensions for me? I need the inner and the outer diameters. Thanks

I just won an ebay auction for a linear power supply for 27$ shipped. It's a Sola SLS-24-024T 24V 2.4Amp. I wasn't planning on a new PSU but you guys are so damn knowledgeable and convincing. I hope this will improve the sound. SolaHD; Single/Multi-Output Linear Power Supplies

Since the trim pots are not precise, I would like to switch them out for better ones. Do you guys know what are good replacements? There are so many options out there. Thanks

I hooked up my Bravo to my Pioneer dolby surround decoder last night. Wow. What a great sound watching movies with such an amazing soundstage. Every nuance in Modern Warfare and blu-ray dolby digital movies sounds amazing. I am really happy with this amp. Here is what I hooked up...
