Projects, rebuilds and or modifications….

SG200 being converted to battery power, with upgraded amplifier stage with more gain.

Working on adding active shielding.

Plus another one for the SG, but unfortunately that one is classified K.

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.

Several in the works, currently working on a pair of Yamaha B3's.

Replacing anywhere from 16-24 stock resistors in the signal paths of each of my ARC REF 40 preamp and REF 10 Phono with Vishay Z-foil/TX2575s. Mucho improvement, but trying to figure out the right number and positions for best results. Still fiddling with it.

Also will be playing with a pair of TUBULUS Argentus DB-25 cables on my Pass Labs XVR-1-3 way crossover. This unit was modified some time ago during a 2 year period with ~130 parts replacements in 30 different listening trials. I’m never doing that again thank God...!

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.
