Just look for brand names on the caps - if you can see any - like you noted on the Wima's, or the Alps POT. You may not see any on the other components (e.g. resistors, transformers, etc.). I was just curious if the caps were known brands like the Rubycons, MCaps, Auricaps, Blackgates, etc.

With the tubes I have read a good bit about the diff ones and they actually made some swap in military grade tubes that are suposidly better than any 12ax7s, bidding on some right now. I couldnent hear any hiss on on the AKGs, forgot to check with the Grados but I'll do that when I get home. I did notice that the stage seems really black if that makes anysince compared to the LD. Its like its more silent than the LD, kinda weird. For the transformers I posted a thread in the DIY forum to see if anyone can kinda "un build" it to try and find out what its all for. When I get home it will have been going for ~24 hours, so Im excited to see of any changes. -greg |
