At the risk of revealing just how stupid I really am-here's a question for you guys. Steve Nugents original advice
for moding the valab dac was-
"3.3uFd V-Cap oils bypassed with .22uFd Sonicap Platinums. These require some weeks of break-in BTW"
Now, here's my stupid question. Does that mean REMOVING the stock caps and replacing them with the
3.3uf and .22uf in parallel, or does it mean placing the 3.3uf and the .22uf in parallel with the stock cap?
Would it make a big difference either way? And if all three were in parallel would it mean a much longer burn in time
because of reduced current through the smaller caps?
I went with the second option(all three caps in parallel), and at 730 hours I'm still noticing some major changes
in the sound.
You guys on this forum are the experts as far as I'm concerned, so I hope you can steer me in the right direction
Thanks, Rich W
P.S. to the gentleman who advised me to go with the Duelunds-my budget won't allow that right now, but
when it does I would like to check them out.
