Looking for some clarification regarding R25/R27 R22/R20 (L:R20/R27) This is mentioned on the included instruction sheet. States the gain multiplier on the high gain setting will be changed. Changed to more gain or less? Can someone explain what resistors get moved and to where?

Installed the Vishay MKP 1839 at the values stated. Cleaned up the sound a bit. I soldered the cap directly to the muses 01. That’s was not my preferred way but I had trouble coming up with a way that I felt comfortable with doing. Will changing the value of these caps have any effect on...

Muses 01 arrived along with two different types of input caps. My case required very little grinding in order for the op amp to fit. Ordered the caps for the op amp socket but I’ll wait to get a feel for what it is I’m hearing and if I feel it needs any adjustment. Time to slow down and see what...

Where in the circuit would I install the additional cap(s)? Is it here?

Will any harm be done to the circuitry if I use only the Elena silmic II caps I have on order? I also have some of the gold Nichicon caps coming as shown in post #2332 by @snellemin. Is the red component attached to the op amp a bypass film cap? (Same post #)

Removed the stock caps and installed pin sockets ala @snellemin. It was very straightforward and I didn’t encounter any issues. I installed the supplied caps for now. I have some silmic II and a muses 01 on the way from mouser. Thanks to @ClieOS , @snellemin and @bogginhead for the help and...

dip sockets arrived. Where can I order the nerve to try the install? My thought is to clip the existing cap leads and remove them one at a time in the direction that they are inserted. Thinking this will pull the solder pad toward the board. Is there a solder pad? Or is this a layered board...

Thanks, but I’m not sure I have anything like that here.

snellemin, would you passalong a source for the pcb pin sockets used for the caps? Thanks

@bogginhead I like your style! You’re getting right in up to your neck with the learning and modding of the E12diy. I’ve been so afraid of making a mess of mine that I only swap out op amp and buffer. Would love the nerve to replace the caps.

Give us your impressions when you’ve gotten an earful. R23 & R19 correct? What’s you serial numbers? I have 0082 gold.

Has there been any in depth discussion on changing the caps you mention? I’m up to page 118 of this thread and the topic of caps is starting to be talked about. I’d like a better understanding of what it is I’m reading. I’m not sure I’d attempt any component replacing. I’ve done plenty of cap...
