Lee, many thanks for bringing that error to my and everyone else's attention, I just hope no-one has followed what I said without first checking if they wanted to parallel caps.

Thanks for the save mate.

p.s. thanks for the link too

^^ correct, I actually went to check that there wasnt some minute esoteric difference between parallel and bypass caps

I've considered that, but the statement of more bass still technically stands.

I remember listening to my diyMod 4G + PIMETA, and when the 22 was installed, I just didn't like it. I didn't get quite the punch I wanted in my reference track, so I switched back and liked what I heard. I was listening with the 47s for who-remembers-how-long, and switching to the 22s made for an unenjoyable experience. I had to switch it immediately. That's my memory of my experience with the 22s and 47s. Remember that the transfer function of the first order high pass filter rolls off slowly, but I still don't think it actually accounts for the difference. Call it imagined.

YES! I was wrong to assume that the big metal thingy was ground

- pins 29 and 30 did it!!!! Now I hear what I was expecting. Thanks!

diy the planet!

BTW how do you guys burn in the LOD's BG caps without destroying the ipod battery with discharges and charges every day?

yes the statement is still correct

and might actually make an audible difference if you are using a 50 ohm pot hehe. the numbers I included have both the corner and top of that intermodulation (the roll-off of which you speak) the top of the 22uf was/is 1.446863121hz, there should be no effect after that. but yeah I will check all the same, stranger things have happened.

It probably wasn't imagined Joneeboi.

The 47's would have been nicely bedded in but the 22's were fresh......

For me, I certainly can tell if a set of caps are burned in or not....

I've used silmic's in my amps that have taken quite some time to open up the lower bass....

 

[qusp]

yeah BG do take a fair while to develop/set. so that could indeed be the answer. lord knows the other doesnt make sense

jk

Hey, Im going to bother you people again quickly...

Im going to mod my iPod Video 30gb and 80gb, and want to stil be able to use the headphone plug on the top of the iPod. I also want to avoid desoldering the 4 capacitors. How important is it that I do indeed desolder them?

 

[joneeboi]

Don't desolder them.

 

[Hayduke]

I've decided I want to mod my 5th Gen Video now (I did my Mini awhile ago).

Does anyone have advice about how to open it? Maybe a link?

I've waited to do it because I'm worried about damaging it in the process. It's worn an invisible shield and been in an iSkin since I bought it, so it's still "pretty"

With the Minis, I didn't care so much because they are already bought used and the end cap plastics are cheap and the only things that get damaged.

So I want to make sure I can do it well the first try.

hmmm, maybe I should look for a cheap one on ebay to "practice" with hehe

It is in the first post as well:

SO just solder to the correct sides of the caps?

 

[joneeboi]

Kaydes:

Yep. It'll make for a more solid connection for your wires. You have less chance of lifting pads and ruining your logic board.

 

[Kaydes]

Thank you!
Im going to do my diymod on my iPod video tonight... and im going to have the capacitors internal. I have abolutely no knowledge of this electrical engineering and such. What way around do the capacitors go? Z cap, Positive terminal, negative terminal dock connector? or the other way around?
