Hi PinkFloyd,
It's sounding very good with the new caps. You are correct in that the bass has tightened. Midrange seem to be smoother and a little more detailed. I'm not sure if it's related but my RS-1 seem to be less harsh in the top-end also, or I could just be imagining things.
Unfortunately though, I haven't had as much time to listen to the amp as I would have liked since I just purchased some new Dynaudio speakers and they've been grabbing most of my attention recently

I'll sure try that over the weekend.

I'll have a go at this also. What value caps are you using for bypassing, both on the input and output stage?
Thanks again for your help! Your reporting of your mods is much appreciated

whatever, this is one key area of the amp which can be improved upon and a simple cheap 10uF non polar cap bypassed with a polyprop sounds a lot better than the stock 10uF polar cap.... for sure ![]() |
