Am working on it... may be a couple days yet.Thanks for documenting, would appreciate the mentioned link to BOM if have it handy for simpler parts ordering, cheers.
Awesome, much appreciatedLink to the BOM is posted now, just before the parts list..
I've done the 200k feedback mod today and yes the soundstage is more clear for sure, even with the basic metal film resistors I had in hand.
I'll do your filtering mod later, as I need to order those specific parts.
I have not compared it to any other Stax amp but my hunch is the fully-modded one will fare well in comparisons.This little Stax amp is heavily underrated, I'm pretty sure it can compete with way more expensive gear, especially once modded.
I didn't concentrate on them, I was looking for big fish, not minnowsRegarding the input stage, I followed Borzim :
- R1 / R2 Removed
- R3 / R4 Removed (strap placed)
- C1 / C2 Removed
You did not retain those recommendations, is there any drawback of cleaning up the input stage this way?
