My guess is that they're subscribing to threads the lazy way.

Either that or a very patient bot building up post count before spamming.

I'm not too into the DIY... is there someplace where I could get it made for me?
 
thanks!

I'm itching to do some more mods on my Crack but there isn't a whole lot left. I already have the speedball upgrade as well as Solen 100uF film output caps and a stepped attenuator, along with plenty of tubes. I could probably experiment with bypassing some caps - is there any noticeable benefit from it? Maybe I'm just at the end of the road.

Just finished up fitting a Triad choke and swapping out the last electrolytic capacitor in the power supply for a jfx  premium film. Also trying out some K75 100uf PIO capacitors temporarily clipped in with some fly leads.

Wow, you aren't messing around. Do film caps for the power supply make a noticeable difference? I have one of them bypassed by a 10uF film cap but that's as far as I've gone so far.

have you noticed any difference in sound with the output caps or attenuator?  I would think the attenuator would just be cosmetic.  but who am I to say.  love to hear your input.

While there could be some bias since I can't do a side-by side (and I like to think my money wasn't wasted), I think they both have some subtle effect. The caps cleaned up the sound and increased the bass response a bit. As for the attenuator, I was having a slight channel imbalance at very low levels which is gone. It also seems like there might a bit more clarity/transparency but I could just be imagining things.

I'll have to look into this. if the sound can be improved by simply changing some caps, I'm all in. A nicer volume pot would be sweet as well. could you post up a pic maybe?
