My X-Cans v1 is getting a bit long in the tooth, but I don't have the funds to get a whole new amp. I am planning to upgrade the caps and opamps instead.
However, instead of the Burr Brown OPA2134, I am thinking of using the OPA2604 or OPA2228. Which of the two do you think would be the better choice? I'm thinking about installing a DIP socket so that I can try both, since I can probably get samples from TI for free.
Also, finding Elna SILMIC and Cerafine caps has been quite difficult. Are there any readily available equuivalents or alternatives?
I'm currently using JJ Electronics tubes, but I'm thinking about giving the Sovteks a try. I definitely can't justify buying Mullards.
Can anyone recommend any other upgrades that haven't been suggested on Nick Dangerous' site and at the Rock Grotto?
