the best sound I have had from the chinook, was with bugle boys from Holland. quite the musical tube. the other HUGE improvement you can do with the chinook is replace those loading resistors on the rear PCB. From the factory they are metal film. Install some Vishay bulk foils there and the noise floor will drop, you will get more micro detail, and imaging will improve. |
you'll have to find a tech in your area. The replacements are Nichicon XY series film and foil. The originals from manley are metalized film. you can buy the parts from digikey.com https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/nichicon/QYX2A474KTP/2117731 It takes 2 min to change the parts, hard part is all the pre-disassembly work first. |
