I've made a few adjustments to my X-10 v3 and picked up another one cheaply and outfitted it similarly.
 
 
X-10 v3 #1
 

 
 
This includes a NOS pair of GE pencil tubes, a set of TO-220 heatsinks and some nicer resistors in the signal path (Kiwame, Takman).
 
 
 
 
 
Here's X-10 v3 #2
 

 
 

 
 
Both are relatively similar, but this one makes use of some non-polarized Mundorf and Silmic caps.

Another MHDT mod; this is a modified Paradisea NOS DAC. Nothing changed in the circuit, but quite a few parts got switched out. Below is the original unit.
 

 
 
And this is the modified unit. Most of the metal film resistors were swapped with various carbon film, from Takman to Kiwame. Eight film caps were replaced, including six Obbligatos and two Mundorf Silver/Oil as the output caps.
 

 
 
As always, you can find more build notes, photos and details at DIYAudioBlog.com

I see a whole lot of huge caps.  Is there any credible documentation stating large caps improves sound stage, bass etc..?

Why stir up a bees nest in a thread dedicated to things people are proud to work on? You have had your own threads to doubt this in.
 
HF9:
Cool work, good to see you still keeping at something you enjoy doing.

I love the seat for the mundorf caps in the X-10 v3 #2.
Great work!

This thread needs to stay alive...
 
 
Some pics of my Technics SL-B1.  When I got it, the hard-wired audio cables were pretty ragged, so I replaced them with gold plated RCA jacks, and replaced some rough looking wire internally. Also replaced the slip mat with drawer liner.

This is really inspiring--even for a chick.  I'm hoping to mod my Jupiter CDP

Here are a few things I've done in the past year or so. Nothing chip related though. 
 

DIY Manufaktur

DIY HD600 grills for my HD580

DIY Headband paint job

 

Increasing the inner cup volume of my D2000

 

I've done SEVERAL M50 detachable mods for people.

 

 

 

 

 

RSA-1/4 adapter

 

My T50RP cups, still a work in progress. I have to install SMC connectors in them when they arrive in the mail so I can use Hifiman cables with them.

Those carbon fiber striped T50RP cups are gorgeous, dude. I'd love to see the final product!

These have AD2000 drivers in them.
