Projects, rebuilds and or modifications….


Who here is in the middle of one or two? Currently I’m working on a Hafler DH-101. After reading the pooge articles and testimonials from other forums over the years, I decided to give it a go. So far the improvement in sound quality is not insignificant.

I’m in the middle of rebuilding and modding my shunyata ps8 , so far I have installed 5 Rifa X2 Y2 Y2 caps with the leads replaces with mundorf silver gold wire, replaced the inlet with furutech NCF , internal 12 g wire replaced with furutech 10 g from an unused sp55 n , installed 2 furutech gtx r ncf inlets, a couple of dueland silver bypass caps, a couple of v cap cutf caps  and it’s sounding pretty GD considering al these parts were extras laying around “ it may not be an Everest but it’s pretty impressive.

Once these settle all put a couple more ncf inlets and a few more duelands in.

barrysandy there’s a guy on WBF who,s done a beautiful job on his ref 40 the same resistor upgrade along with extensive more mods, look it up its worth a look up to see the extent he has gone with many photos of his journey.

A couple months ago I replaced the g luxman electrolytic caps with Nichicon FW and resistor with a Audio Note 1/2 w and the ac inlet with furutech ncf in two W4S LPS powering the router and fmc the second powering fmc and aqvox switch.

Clean power is a Must in the digital area with usually minimum expense and the greatest amount of sound improvements.

The biggest joy I get from modding is the steps of improvement and the sq improvements you can achieve with the proper mix and there are many sideway moves and a few set backs.
